Hi Marvin, I'm having problems with the connection to Internet, both with wvdial and kppp: the connection starts, everything is allright, but invariably after some time (between 1, 5 or even 10 minutes) the connection is broken. In the /var/log/messages (using both wvdial and kppp) the following line appears (typically twice): Kill Request for PID, Faking In the case of kppp it exits with "Exit status 16". As the connection is so unstable, it is not good to work with it (I'm writing this message connecting with Windows to the same ISP). Any clue?
