Configuring kppp
Setting up kppp. by Steve Knouse knouse@neosoft.com November 13, 1998
Here's what worked for me, submitted in hopes it will help another UNIX/Linux rookie.
My ISP uses PAP authentication on their dial-up PPP server.
1. Log in as root.
2. Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.serial 
   stty 57600 < /dev/cua0 # set the modem port to 57600.
3. Setup a symbolic link to /dev/cua0 from /dev/modem 
   ln -s /dev/cua0 /dev/modem
4. Reboot and log in as a user 
     or 
   Enter the command 'stty 57600 < /dev/cua0' then logout and log in 
   as a user

   I couldn't get a connection when logged in as root. I don't know
   if I had something in root's kppp configuration set differently,
   or if kppp doesn't like to connect as root (and that is probably
   a good idea). A friend told me he thinks this is set in a
   configuration file, but he doesn't know which one.
5. Open kppp
6. Configure kppp 
   6.1 My kppp configuration - not including many defaults
       Accounts
         Dial
           Authentication = PAP
               Execute program on connect = xrefresh (eliminates or 
               diminishes a "feature" in pppd (or is it an X or KDE 
               bug?) that makes KDE go black)
           pppd arguments = -detach /dev/modem 57600 crtscts defaultroute
         IP
           Dyanmic IP Address = On
           Auto configure host name from this IP = Off
         DNS
           IP addresses of your DNS 
           Domain = blank
           Disable existing DNS services during connection = On
         Gateway
           Default
         Logon script
           Use default script = On
         Accouting
           not enabled
    
       Device
         modem = /dev/modem
         flow control = ctsrts
         line term = cr/lf
         speed = 57600
         modem lock file = /var/lock/LCK..modem
         time out = 60 sec
      
       Modem
         modem assets CD line = Off
         modem commands (for US Robotics 28.8 Sportster V42.bis)
           Initialization: AT &F &D2 &H1 &B1 Q0 X4 &A3 S7=75 S0=0
               For US Robotics 28.8 Sportster V42.bis. Spaces added 
               to improve readability. They are not entered in kppp.
           others at default settings
      
          # Explanation of Initialization commands
          # &F  Reset to Factory Defaults
          # &D2 Normal DTR Operation
          # &H1 Hardware Flow Control
          # &B1 Fixed serial port rate
          # Q0  Result codes displayed
          # X4  Result code option
          # &A3 Protocol codes enabled
          # S7=75 Number of seconds to wait for carrier
          # S0=0  Turn off answering
      
       PPP
         pppd path = /usr/sbin/pppd
         timeout = 90
         log viewer = kedit
         disconnect on Xserver shutdown = On
         minimize window on connect = Off

   6.2 Another way to set up kppp is to edit your kppprc file 
       Notes:
       1. *** indicates a parameter you need to edit 
       2. ### indicates a comment. Comments must be deleted.
       2. Lists: Elements are comma delimited and end with a comma. 
                 See pppdArguments list for an example
--- start of $HOME/.kde/share/config/kppprc --- # KDE Config File [Account0] TotalBytes=0 AutoName=0 ExDNSDisabled=1 ScriptArguments= AccountingEnabled=0 Phonenumber=***your ISP phonenumber*** IPAddr=0.0.0.0 TotalCosts= Name=***account name*** Domain= VolumeAccountingEnabled=0 pppdArguments=-detach,/dev/modem,57600,crtscts,defaultroute, Password=***your_password*** ###Only if you want to store it### Command=xrefresh ScriptCommands= Authentication=1 ###PAP### SubnetMask=0.0.0.0 DNS=***list of your dns_servers*** AccountingFile= DefaultRoute=1 Username=***your_user_name*** StorePassword=1 ###Password is stored.

7. When done configuring, click Connect on the kppp control panel
   The connection went through and I got a dialog much like the dial
   up connection in Windows 95.
