Hi All, 
Does anyone on this list connect to the internet through Linux using a dial up modem with KPPP? I have bought a new PCMIA card modem.  It is a full hardware modem and Kubuntu detects it correctly. When I try to connect, however, it dials and then fails during the last part of the connection. I have no idea as to why it fails as no error message gets reported and for some reason the  logs are blank. I have tried every authentication protocol available to me without success. The available choices are PAP, PAP/CHAP, CHAP, Terminal Based, and Login Script. I have not been able to try login Script as I have not got a login script on my computer. Do you think a login script will solve my problems? The ISP I am trying to connect to is Paradise. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I need to get the modem working so I can  install some new applications using apt-get over the holidays.  

Cheers,
Steve
