I'm running Ubuntu (Gnome)and it's built in ppp dialer doesn't have as much configuration asKPPP. Thanks for all the assistance, driver has been working without ahitch. Don't understand what KPPP does different from wvdial, and Istill can't get that to connect completely. If I ever figure out thedifference I'll let you know.
