Got this from a friend can any one suggest a good place to look....??? Cheers Stu

hiya, and thanks for helping out I really appreciate it. I have tried millions of combinations now for all the kppp settings in kde and still the same error is coming up:-

"The pppd daemon died unexpectedly"

The debug file reports the folowing:-

"localhost pppd[625] The remote system is required to authenticate itself but localhost pppd [625] counldnt find any secret (password) which would let it use an IP address."

I believe that the remote host should not be required to authenticate itself!

from ppp options:

# Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network # packets to be sent or received. auth

If you have the above in your ppp options file try kppp after changing the 'auth' line to 'noauth'.

I have tried a manual login script as well and the same error

occurs. I > also used the terminal button in the modem device setup and called the > speaking clock so I know the modem works.
