How to configure ppp0 for ADSL ?

[Thomas]

Hello Charles

IMHO you need a valid configuration for your eth0 interface, where ppp0 
has to be bound to. The device does not need to get activated on boot.

Most easy way is using the network configuration tool from within KDE 
(somewhere in the menus, simply look for it).

With this tool you can add an xDSL interface (results in ppp0) and you 
may activate or deactivate it therefrom.

This worked for me.

If you need, I can post my infconfig output and configuration files 
later (am not on my Linuxbox right now).

Hope, this helps,

Thomas
