Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] getting a gui ppp dialup
Is it apparent that you get a GUI dialer? I see absolutly no reason to have one...partly because its unneccisary, and because i've never gotten one to work. However, my perl dial script works like a charm.

I have tried Kppp and ezppp with my modem (externel USR x2), but whenever I try to get a connection, both of these programs return the message "the ppp daemon died unexpectedly!". I can get a command line ppp up easy enough, but I am going to be setting up a linux box for someone who probably doesn't have the ability to learn linux quick enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yes it is necessary. as i said before, im setting a box up for someone who doesn't have the learning curve that most linux users do, so a gui is very helpful Aaron Seelye <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Hello, When I was using SuSE 5.1, I had set up my ppp connection to work with "ppp on" to connect and "ppp off" to end it. I then used a package called "tkppp" which just was a gui front end. It was included in the retail version of 5.1. It worked well, you just clicked "connect" and it would run "ppp on" and then would display "Connected to 32.xxx.xx.xx ", and when you wanted off you clicked "disconnect". If all that you need is a gui frontend to a working ppp setup, try it. You may have it already... Steve Aaron Seelye wrote:
