[plug] Kppp

[Len Bird]

Hi Chris,

I get the same problem with RH-62 and KDE. I work around it by using
eznet which is a real crowbar of a program, which you can download from
Linuxberg etc.  P.S.  if you find out how to get the RH62/KDE kppp to
behave I would appreciate knowing how to fix it.

Regards,   Len Bird
