Re: At a loss with kppp
Hello, Since you are using debian, you still may wish to give pppconfig a shot. I am using now for my machine and use the 'demand dialing'. All I do is run pon after I boot up the box. This sets up pppd to automatically log onto my ISP whenever I need outside routing. It hangs up the line after a set period of time that you set up during the pppconfig for your account. I attempted to use kppp on kde 2.0.. It would sometimes work and sometimes not. Since I couldn't trace it down I just used debians built in pon/poff. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

Could you please help me with it? Try to use 'pon' and 'poff', to check if the problem comes from kppp or pppd. pon connects you to your ISP and poff disconnects you from your provider. 'pppconfig' will help you to configure your PPP ISP connection. You may have a look at /var/log/ppp.log for debugging purposes.
