When one brings up kppp & sets up a connection there is a drop-down list of prospective connection devices. I would like to add a device to that list so that I don't have to constantly change the /dev/modem symlink when I want to switch from my internal to an external modem. Can someone help me with how to add the missing device? There *must* be a way... no? Thanks... ...CH

AFAIK, the dropdown list only contains connectoin specific info, not hardware info. To do what you want, I would suggest going to Configure, Device and use the /dev/ttySx device instead of changing the symlink. You could leave the symlink alone. I use /dev/ttyS2 for mine, not /dev/modom. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

The problem with doing that is, neither device is listed. My internal modem is /dev/ttySHSF0 & my external device is /dev/ttyUSB0. Consequently, I have to assign one or the other to /dev/modem when I want to use one of them. Since I am having less than good luck w/kinternet I thought this might be the easiest 'out'. ...CH

Which version do you have? I am using the one with kde 3.2 (SuSE 8.2), and it does list /dev/ttyUSB0. Maybe you could leave the internal ttySHSF0 linked to modem and use USB0 for the external. It should work. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

I am on SuSE 9 Pro, and the USB0 is not in there. The closest I can find as an 'ACM' something-or-other listed but not USB0. Currently, I have two really simple scripts I can call for which modem I need/want to use. It's just a little hassle, that's all. ...CH
