I think that the problem is I don't have pppd. When I went to configure it, it did not exist. (I went in /etc/ppp/ and there was no pppd. I've seen it there before so I know it should be there.) Are there any other data that you need? Just let me know. Thank you.-- —Moose Moose Jam Sausage Meow-M

I think I'd like to give KDE a shot now... Call me Nicolas Petrely-fied :) Seriously though, I've contemplated it for some time now. I use Enlightenment as my WM and I know I can continue to use it if I'd like. I've given Sawfish, and now Metacity, a try with Gnome and find both WMs rather lacking.
