In KPPP under modem, there is a line termination field with 3 choices.

Hello John,

When KPPP was giving me fits, I went to WVdial. That seemed to work okay. You'll have to open a terminal window and then log in as superuser to start WVdial. After it connects, use your favorite web browser/mail/whatever in another window or terminal session.

When you're done, go back to the WVdial terminal session and do CTRL-C to stop WVdial.

I liked this approach because I would have the KPPP daemon die on me for no readily apparent reason. The only way to get control of the system was to do a software reboot. With WVdial, you can always CTRL-C to regain control if the PPP daemon dies.

Recently, my ISP had someone upstream change their connection protocol and WVdial now doesn't work for me. I'm back to using KPPP. On my Linux From Scratch box (LFS 5.1), I'm going back to PPP and use a Chat Script for logging in. At least, that's the next project. :)

So try WVdial-1.53, and if that doesn't work try PPP-2.4.2.

Take Care John,
Stephen.
