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.

============================================================================

one problem could be setting the ppp time outs in kppp also as others have said the faq at k desktop can be usefull Im sorry I dont have the URL handy though basically it says to the effect you have to add your username and password in the kppp arguments whith that said.... that may not be all there is thats causing the problem and using kppp forces one to be in the k envioriment to dial out. Ive had a bunch of problems getting my dialup to work and here is the scripts and config files that finally worked for me. Most of it was gatherd here and there mainly with help from this list also got a tip from suses site here is the message also get in the habit of running tail -f /var/log/messages when you are tring to establish dialup (have to have debug enabled though) also this uses the command /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic that way one can get dialup from anywhere on the system you can of course use other dialers such as wvdial or qadliw links can be found in my sig good luck rob

Rob, You have diald on, turn it off until you get ppp working. :-)

Make sure your options file shows 0:0 instead of that ip you put in.
