Hello, Yes, I took the kdenetwork source, modified it, and built and tested kppp. Of course, further testing wouldn't hurt, but there isn't anything in these packaging changes that should break anything. Users who already have kppp working, having edited /etc/ppp/options to set "noauth", shoul

Hello, To deal with the problems users are having configuring KPPP, I've put together some small patches (based on the ideas, not my own, discussed in Bug #126406) that should resolve these issues. The patches are attached to the e-mail I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which for some reason hasn't
