John,
What do you have in /etc/ppp/options ?
lock noauth noipdefault usepeerdns
Also, if you have wvdial installed, running wvdialconf will give you a
pretty good initialisation string which you can copy into the modem options tab of kppp's setup.
Not yet, but I may come to it.
Whenever I install an OS, I configure kppp from a printscreen printout of every kppp window which I use as a crib sheet.
In the past I have chosen CR or CR/LM it made no odds.
The same can be said with the choice between PAP and CHAP for authentification( I happen to know my pop3 ISP account server uses CHAP) and so as long as I chose either pap/chap or just chap it didn't matter.
Cheers
John (NZ)
