Ok - with that said, can you be a bit more specific?
Meanwhile, OTOH, this is what *I* would do to make sure it's happy.
1.) Double check the real modem settings.
Fire up (as root) minicom -s and go through all the proper port
and speed settings; the init string shouldn't really be touched,
but if you MUST, set it to AT &F &C1 &D2 Q0 V1 E1
Save the settings, and when returned to the "terminal" mode of
minicom, try typing in some AT commands like:
AT &V
AT I4
AT H0
...and if all that works fine, then exit
2.) Setup KPPP
You should only really have to setup the phone number, the username
and the password for this to work properly; cuz that's all you need.
The PAP/CHAP settings for PPPD are pretty much standard for every
ISP on the planet and seldom need any other changes.
3.) Fire up the connection.
After setting up KPPP just click the CONNECT button - you might want
to click the "LOG" tickbox so that you can see what's happening from
the beginning all the way through to the actual PPPD startup - this
is where you'd be able to detect problems with the login and such.
4.) Test the connectivity.
Fire up yer fave browser and type in your fave URL.
http://slashdot.org is a really good one to test (g).
Now, if you can't get to any of those steps, let's get more detailed.
HTH, cheers!
