First a disclaimer: I'm running on just a couple of hours sleep and not
currently at location with Linux box - so details are foggy (i'm cc'ing this
to the list in hopes someone will remember the utiliy's name).

Don't know if this pertains to your situation, but FYI:

I have two seperate comm paths/cards: a NIC (10baseT) and an ISA 33K modem
(yeah, both old technology).

Also, am running KDE 1.x.

Adding "noauth" got my dialup connection working, BUT: Though kppp would
connect, I still couldn't browse the web.

I don't remember the name of the utility, something under KDEs' "Internet"
menu section, but I had to run it to enable browsing.

This utility displayed three comm channel status/control items on a dialog
box. One was labelled "loopback" (this was the only one enabled), another
was "ethernet" (or something similar) and the third was for my dialup modem.

I disabled "loopback" and enabled the dialup/modem. The first time I tried
this it crashed, then I closed kppp and retried it and it seemed to accept
my modifications.

Restarted kppp and connected to my internet provider.

Tried Netscape and it worked, I was browsing at 4am (and muttering "die
Microsoft, die!")!

Anyway, hope you at least get a laugh out of this.
Bruce.
