Regarding the problem with using ppp as non-root, I can now connect to the net as both root and non-root but find that Netscape and Lynx behave as if there was no connection. This happens both non root and root, it was OK as root before. It's probably something pretty obvious but I can't puzzle it out. Any ideas? Please?
Have you read the PPP-HOWTO, section 11 is about how to use PPP with/without root privileges.
Do you have a weird firewall? Do you run squid (www-cache)? that might explain the web browser problem?
