Wvdial vs. Kppp

Good morning all When I switched on my pc this morning kinternet couldn't detect my modem :-( When I tried Kppp this dialled out fine. However when trying to use Kmail to collect mail I got an error message : Account: Lineone In OPEN The server was not found This was in a box titled Pop Mail Network Error. I then went into Yast, ran the sendmail configuration module. When I then ran the moden configuration module the modem was detected and Kinternet started working again, as did Kmail ? Any ideas what happens to the Kinternet config when I shut down Linux? If I continue to just use Kppp to dial ot then how can I get Kmail to work properly. Thanks and have a great day Mark -- Mark R.
