Its hard to be specific about what the problem is without more detail. I
run RH6.0 which came with the defualt permissions as I wanted except for
kppp which I use to setup my connection and dialout. This would only run as
root. Basically someone pointed me to a webpage which told me howto sort
the problem and that has not been a problem since. This is not the site
http://kde.sw.com.sg/documentation/en/applications/kppp/index.html but does
go part of the waty to solving the kppp problem. It also has some links to
linux pppd sites. My modem is on dev/ttsy0 (com1) not /dev/cua0/1 or
dev/modem. Try in kppp if that what your using making the device something
like that. Hope that helps slightly NH.
