For Kppp setup, make sure you have your modem set correctly (/dev/ttyS0 is the
same as com1) -- in the setup choose the device tab and select the correct modem
device ..ttyS0 (or S1 for com2, S2 for com3...). Also, seems like I had to
switch the default flow control setting to xon/xoff. Otherwise I'm probably not
much help to you.
