Hi Gonzalix,
I am a dial-up user (yup..., still many of us her in the US). I use
kppp, even though I don't actually use the KDE environment (Blackbox for
me). kppp is very easy to set up and rock solid in my experience (YMMV).
You'll probably need to edit /etc/resolv.conf with information provided by
you ISP. Add the lines:
search <your isp> [mine says: search i-2000.com ]
nameserver <dns#>
nameserver <dns#> [your isp should provide you with two dns #'s]
typically those are the only three lines you'll *need* in
/etc/resolve.conf
HTH,
Mike
