I played with Mandrake 10 recently and you had to do two things to get kppp running - all done in KDE. First, configure the modem through one of the configuration tools (set up the port that it's on and also your dialup details) the configurator prompts for the root password. Second launch kppp as a normal user, I seem to recall that kppp didn't appear in the menus until after I ran the configurator. kppp should let you reconfigure all the settings you entered in root user mode anyway. I just wondered whether you (the original poster whose name eludes me) ran all the tools in the modem installer you ran. ltmodem for example requires 3 different tools to be run one after the other, one of them sets up the character device for the modem, in my case: ./build_module && ./ltinst2 && ./autoload A great set of tools that installed my winmodem without hassle (just keep hitting enter at the prompts). At the end, you have something in /dev that looks like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 06:39 modem -> /dev/ttyLT0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 62, 64 Jun 17 06:41 ttyLT0 I made the symbolic link from modem to ttyLT0.
