[Techtalk] KPP Problem

[Poppy Casper]

I had a similar problem with Gnomeppp when I set up my box... I wound up
switching to wvdial, but in so doing, discovered that my problem was
that my user didn't have permission to both pppd and /dev/modem...

Don't know much about the setup of RH, or what device you need
permissions to, but i hope this helps you get started in the right
direction anyway.
