I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing seems to work. The KInternet log reports, at best, that: "pppd died: pppd options error (exit code 2)" which appears to be conflicting information, presumably the pop/smtp name being the same. I think you missed the boat a bit :) [My definitiions aren't that great, so sorry if I confuse you :)] PPP is the protocol you use to talk to your ISP over your modem - it is completely seperate from email/web/ftp/etc in terms of function. PPP stands for "Point to Point Protocol" and merely establishes a link between your machine and your ISPs modem server machines :)
What seems to be happening is that there is a problem with the options for pppd [the PPP daemon, or "server program"] "2 An error was detected in processing the options given, such as two mutually exclusive options being used." So I would look at setting up your internet connection again... I am afraid I have been a broadband user for a couple of years, and so don't have anything else to offer with regards to setting up a modem connection to the next under linux, but there are others on the list who should be able to help :)
