Even if one prefers Gnome, one can still use an app like kppp instead of the seemingly more problematic gnome dialer. I use neither of the big two destop environments prefering Blackbox. But I can use apps from both of the major desktop environments because they are installed on my system.

[newbie] PPP Dialler
Hi All, Does there seem to be a problem with the ppp dialler set-up running gnome 1.4 under Mandrake 8. I have previously installed Mandrake 8 with the KDE desktop option and had set-up the dialler up in a matter of minutes. Has anybody else had a problem in this area or suggestions as to how to get it up and running, my only other option would be to re install and back to the KDE structure. A friend of mine is running Redhat 7.1 , she has successfully installed and set-up the gnome ppp dialler with that distro. I can't see why they should be different. Thanks Chris
