I did get Kinternet to operate finally after doing a clean install .... wiping SUSI completely. Unfortunately the YAST installer does not upgrade .... I at first tried to wipe Kinternet and KPPP both and a few other things and do an "upgrade" back to them. YAST informed me as it has in the past that there was nothing to upgrade??? I ran through a full install, and it connected to the internet fine during the install as before..... I selected "basic system" and did not install any of the optional interfaces and unnecessary tools. When the install was complete KInternet did not respond at all, but rather than installing KPPP as I had done previously when this happened I installed KInternet 0.45-121 from an RPM I had downloaded and saved to my windows partition. This made KInternet work. It now dials up when I request a page from the internet. Interestingly enough when Galeon ( which I later installed as I prefer it to the other browsers ) comes online it states that it cannot find it's home page rather than dialing it...... a rather good thing actually! As soon as you place a cursor after the URL and hit enter it dials up. I don't know how to shut off Kinternet except to click the icon to disconnect it..... after which it must be clicked to make it active again so it can dial up on request. It is a fine effort to make internet access simpler, but needs some polishing yet. KPPP worked fine for me until SUSI introduced Kinternet.

I don't know if you are stuck on using KPPP, but I would recommend kinternet. It is much easier to configure and use than kppp. I use this dialer, and I am very pleased.
I gave up on Kinternet and went back to Kppp. It works fine.
