Ok... here your talking about using *3* different dialup methods. I would
suggest to start with 1
and the easiest is wvdial... so - lets get you up and connecting with that
couple of ideas
you can use wvdial from anywhere iow you dont need to screw around with
kppp
If you're in K open an xterm and run wvdial from it
(once your up and running... and feeling adventerous then mess with
suseppp)
using wvdial /etc/ppp has lock
afaik only kpp dosnt like the lock in /etc/ppp
did you run wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf? and edit the that file by adding
your dialup info and uncommenting (removing the ; semicolon? then you
just type wvdial -thats it-
to close use ctrl c
My page has the complete wvdial readme and instructions for suse users also
my scripts for suseppp but Id get wvdial going first
