Hello,
I have an Aztech HCF modem configured (using a driver on found the net). I can get it connected through a terminal or consol using WVDIAL. From there i can browse.
The problem is: i am not able to get connected from KDE or any other Xwindow. Net_monitor says the connection has failed. How to configure my internet access from KDE?
Also, when i get connected through wvdial, the connection only work for a few minutes before i get disconnected.

Dear 3Dave,
I tried kppp under KDE, but it didn't work. I actually couldn't find that command on my whole linux environment.

It probably hasn't been installed but you
should be able to find it on the
installation CDs. Launch "rpmdrake" and
install it from there, it should prompt you
for the correct CD.

Alternatively, you could set up your sources
and use urpmi to install it from the net.
