I'd like to use KPPP just as a front-end for pppd and not as a dialler. I have a DSL connection that requires PPTP and I've properly configured pppd to invoke pptp (via a pty entry in /etc/ppp/peers/provider).
Everything works quite well, except that I'd like to have a convenient gui front-end. I've been using bbppp, which has a toggle-button that simply invokes pon/poff, however, I'd rather use a front-end that can go into the System Tray. (bbppp runs in a standalone window) From the documentation, it looks like KPPP insists on having a modem and dialling before invoking pppd. Is there a way to get KPPP to just invoke pppd without first dialling? Thank you for your help! Regards, Neil
