Are you sure?? Both kinternet & kppp don't connect nearly as fast as wvdial
does. Kinternet, especially, is an exercise in patience when trying to
connect. ISDN takes nearly a full minute, whereas wvdial takes roughly 7
seconds --which is still slower than 'another OS' I used to use but
tolerable, none the less.
