I did a install (the one for the newbie) and it installed everything successfully. I had some problem with the X, but sax took care of that problem. However, my PPPD daemon wont start automatically. My modem is configured just correct---I can run minicom and get modem tone (I even get the authentication too) and atz passes ok. But there's no PPP. Under KDE, the utility that holds info for all the services, doesn't include PPP(BTW, Never knew there could be something that awesome window manager out and people dying for some other crap) anyway, it seems to me that I did not load the PPP package because I don't have /etc/suseppp find / -name suseppp (No file or Directory) How/where can I install that package from? (Which CD?) What would be the easiest way---I would like to know if there's anything under KDE to install it easily? Ah, just tell me anyway to resolve this issue:) Thanks ahead. **************************************************** Second problem is not priority at the moment, but if you happen to have the answer, please tell me how can I resolve this. when I login as my user account, I type startx (it takes me to K Desktop) When I login as root and type startx (it takes me to fvwm2)---if I manually try to run KDE, it will give me error message (can't remember the error message) I configured it 3-4 times using SAX and everytime it finds my adapter and everything. Do I have to edit any file like /etc/securetty or add one? Thanks Thanks again. ---Steve Pauly <stevep@bash.linux-shell.net> wrote:

Greetings,

To those having problems with ppp, you might put debug in your suse options file so you can see what it is doing. (Or invoke: /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up <something> debug )

If there is a /var/lock/L* file for your modem existing before you

dial,

then you should rm it or something.

Finally, I found that if you don't have your pap-secrets right, and possibly your name=<isp_name> (can't remember exact syntax) in your options file, it will drop the connection abruptly.

In any case, check your /var/log/messages file after turning debug on.

Steve.
