LURKER here, I have just a regular dialup connection and when I clicked on the "kppp" and the box appears there was a button called "SetUp" and that is all I used. Maybe the 'adsl' requires different method of setting thingys up, but; that is all I did. I am a very NEWBY as well, have had the software for about a year but only worked with it for about 2-3 days total time over that period, so be gentle with me, PLEASE?
