No it's the the app itself on this occassion. Though you are right to suspect discs, it is not right to always suspect discs.

I finally found out what caused that a totally borked set of install disks which resulted in no two installs working the same. Something to consider when illogical things happen like "K" in the name.

KPPP - MD10.0 CE BUG
The default install off the discs is KPPP2.1.4
Modem time out is unchangeable from 5 second depite what whatever setting you give it.
And when a connection is eventually made KPPP fails to dock into the panel despite enabling it.
Does anyone know if they have an updated version ?
John
I am using 2.1.2 under 9.2 and it docks into the panel. I don't know about the delay.
Hoyt
Not only is there no docking, any adjustment to the modem time out, but the dialing speed slider adjuster bar doesn't work either, but I think the pppd package may be where the fault lies.
It's a pain having to live without the docking facility, it made closing down the connection easy, now I have to log out to achieve the same effect. The modem time out facility is also important with ISP's like mine, freeserve soon to be called Wannado (some wag has already christened it 'Canna do ') needs time for it's overloaded servers to let you in. One other problem is that the dialer no longer "cycles" between one telephone number and another in the phone numbers list , as my ISP like me to do, as it helps to even out the loads on their exchanges. Normally a failed connection means the next number it dials is the next in the list. That does not seem to happen anymore.
What was it someone said about " K " in the name.

I think the default install kppp and it's dependencies need looking at.
I note a few changes to the app , some additional new features, so someone has been tinkering with it lately, and I guess fixed something but upset some of the existing features in doing so.
