[NTLUG:Discuss] Remote Access While Traveling

[Wayne Patterson]

I may be missing something, but it has all ways work for me.
Why don't you use the default "dialer" that was installed with Mandrake?
If Mandrake found the modem during install you have a "dialer".
I have all ways used "kppp" when I have to travel. But I like KDE so...
Is there something special you are trying to do?
