Greetings, Just a quick update on the pppd install - Since I DID read the kppp manual and all related stuff and still couldn't figure out what was going wrong I just left everything and just did NOT think about ANY computer stuff ...Though I realise that this might not work for everyone, especially if you are in a hurry, it worked for me...the big realisation happened to me when I remembered that I compiled MODULE support into the kernel, BUT didn't compile any modules! Yes Stefan, you got me again there...RTFM!!! I admit I am MS-challenged and after years of putting up with useless MS manuals I am a bit biased about manuals and their value. I guess it's time to change this attitude....:-)) Now on to the next challenge: 1. Did anybody notice a marked slow response and transfer rate when using Netscape with Linux? It might be my ISP but it's never been THAT slow... I am under the impression that I set that max. modem speed to 115000 but maybe it changed again for (to me not obvious) reasons. 2. I would like to create group execute permissions (group= internet, kde) for all kde and internet related functions so that I can just? assign certain users to a group et voila they have permission to run eg. Netscape. Does Netscape take care of individual user profiles like under Windooze or do I have to set this up (hope not...). 3. Which file takes care of "path" variables like the mozilla home directory? Enuf for today....happy linuxing and have a great weekend...

my apologies in advance if this sounds really dumb...
I have tried to setup my ISP connection and get the modem to dial (kdd) and connect to the ISP. Then things stop with the message: " pppd deamon died unexpectedly...". Any hints as to where to look and what might be the cause??
You haven't read the kppp help, have you? There's a list of frequently asked questions in there, which covers the unexpectedly died pppd in depth. In most cases it's just that there is a `lock' in /etc/ppp/options. If it's there, remove it.
Ciao, Stefan
