Getting Connected to the Internet with KPPP
Written by: Paul Penrod

Select the Modem Device designation that matches the port your modem is on and go back to the Modem tab and press the Query Modem button to see if KPPP can talk to the modem. When the query is successful, KPPP will display a dialog box like the following:

Press the CLOSE button. Go back to the KPPP Configuration dialog and select the Device tab.

We need to check one item, the Connection Speed. There is an interesting “feature” of KPPP which can cause a problem connecting to a PPP dial-up if the connection speed is set too fast. I have only seen this with one 28.8 modem, and setting the speed to 38400 fixed the problem.

Next, select the Modem tab and adjust the Modem Volume slider to your preference as to how loud you want the modem to sound when it’s dialing out and making the network connection.
