Annoying issue ...
When operating this Suse v10.0 as a USER, the modem problems being encountered here with KPPP appear to be inconsistant. It's an issue of ownership; i.e., the modem works fine in ROOT but not at all as a USER.
According to the owner's manual, as a USER, if I bring up the the terminal and type in "su root" and when asked, enter the password for ROOT, I'm supposed to then type in and I quote ...
"chown root:root $kdedir/bin/kppp"
If I'm not mistaken that supposed to be "chown root:user $kdedir/bin/kppp"
Can anyone tell me where this "$kdedir" file is? Just what is meant by "$kdedir"

I'm guessing kde dir is in something like /opt ... so it would be /opt/kde/bin/kppp. You could always try
. I would not expect the binary to be in individual user home areas.Code:find / -iname kppp
Ed: and its probably root:users

Make sure the modem is set user controlled in Yast, or the user is in the group modem. Also, I find kInternet works better than kPPP
