Unfortunately it is not the case. I suspect the pppsetup is where the dog is buried. Before I used kppp or for that matter gnome-ppp I had done a pppsetup. Only the ISP I choose in pppsetup is the one I can connect with in kppp/gppp. If I want to use another ISP I have to change it in pppsetup. I can't help it these are the facts. /var/log/messages with pppsetup ISP opened with kppp Apr 3 10:28:58 philonline pppd[253]: pppd 2.4.1 started by pfheiss, uid 500 Apr 3 10:28:58 philonline pppd[253]: Using interface ppp0 Apr 3 10:28:58 philonline pppd[253]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 Apr 3 10:29:05 philonline pppd[253]: Remote message: Login Succeeded Apr 3 10:29:05 philonline pppd[253]: local IP address 202.78.107.79 Apr 3 10:29:05 philonline pppd[253]: remote IP address 202.78.97.196 Apr 3 10:29:05 philonline pppd[253]: primary DNS address 202.78.97.2 Apr 3 10:29:05 philonline pppd[253]: secondary DNS address 202.78.97.3 Apr 3 10:29:09 philonline pppd[253]: Terminating on signal 15.

Apr 3 10:30:00 philonline pppd[266]: Exit. and syslog: PAP authentication failed To my reading it is pppsetup which puts a lock somewhere that only "its ISP" can be connected to even when I have deleted all its files I know off. I now reinstalled all the network section n1. That wiped-out the pppsetup. I then edited the necessary files in /etc/hosts and /etc/ppp/pap/chat/options with the result that kppp tries to connect to either ISP, however, cannot make the final connection and gives up after running the message: interface is down. I must have missed-out something. There are no messages in syslog and the following in /var/log/messages Apr 3 08:30:54 philonline pppd[220]: pppd 2.4.1 started by pfheiss, uid 500 Apr 3 08:31:28 philonline pppd[220]: Serial connection established.

If nothing helps I will reinstall Slackware and then avoid using pppsetup.
