I configured kppp the way it says, it will connect in root but not in another
account, nothing happens. It also disconnects me pretty well straight away
unless I start sending or receiving data
I also thought I might give my service provider a ring, and ask them if there
were any setting I need to know about, the nice bloke from Tech support said
"Umm, I dont know. Kppp is good but I cant tell you anything else because Ive
only been using Linux for two weeks" thats one more week than me and thats
scarey.
