This explains a lot. Normally in linux, commands are typed in a text window or on the text console. Probably, pppconfig should not be in the graphical menu, it is only confusing indeed. Try to get used to the command line. Most examples in the documentation assume that that is how you use commands. A good book about learning unix or linux may not be a bad idea either, if you have to be your own systems administrator. Currently, it is still rather harder than easier to administrate linux with pictures. If it ever will, I'm not sure if I will still recognise it, though. :-) Cheers, Joost
