I had it running just fine on my Lombard. I didnt do all that
scripting stuff. when you go in to configure KPPP could you get it to
recognize your modem and initialize it? if no, I just tried the
different ports etc on the list (because dev/modem didnt work) and I
found one that did which I cant remember. Then I turned off the flow
control because with it on it wouldnt work. After that I could log in
successfuly via ppp just by putting my login and pass into KPPP.
