+It is assumed that you have already successfully installed pppd.
+For more info see the PPP-HOWTO.
+
+INSTALLATION:
+
+./configure
+
+Now check the kppp/config.h file ( Linux users should be fine )
+then:
+
+make
+make install
+
+o If you run "make install" as root the kppp binary will be installed
+ setuid root. Otherwise you can do this on your own:
+ cd $(KDEDIR)/bin ; chown root kppp; chmod +s kppp. This might not
+ be absolutely necessary ( depending on the permissions
+ set on the modem device, /etc/resolv.conf etc. but if you can
+ afford to, this will make your life much easier.
+
+o if you can't give kppp setuid permission, here is the deal:
+ In order for kppp to be able to update /etc/resolv.conf,
+ /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, respectively,
+ the users of kppp must have write permissions to these files
+ and of course the modem device. It's up to you to figure
+ the right permissions. ;-)
+
+o make sure that the pppd's option file which usually resides
+ in /etc/ppp/ exists, but is empty. pppd wants it to exist,
+ but we don't want pppd to take any options from it. kppp
+ will hand pppd the necessary options.
+
+o when you run kppp for the first time you need to create and
+ configure kppp for you ISP account. I hope kppp was written
+ so that you will have no difficutlies understanding the many
+ options offered. Please make use of the html help documentation
+ if you have questions.
+
+
+that's it,
+happy dialing!
