I have sucessfully downloaded, installed and configured wvdial. My problem is, for example; if I am in KDE, invoke wvdial from an x term, it dials and establishes a connection, Netscape, Kmail, etc. don't seem to "see" the connection and returns an error message. How do I "point" applications to the established ppp connection, or what should I do differently? I am able to connect and login fine with kppp, btw, but wvdial is much quicker and easier.
