Then log in as yourself, and use minicom to dial your isp. (atdt phonenumber) Write down the exact prompts you see and also the exact things you type in there. When you are logged on, press alt-h to hang up and alt-z x to quit minicom. Then go into kppp and in the isp add a script thingy that is exactly as you saw in minicom. So: expect "login" send "loginname" and so on. I admit, it is not professional, but this way it works. Setting up the script it not difficult, it shows itself.
