kppp - a dialer for pppd
kppp is a dialer and front end for pppd. It allows for interactive script
generation and network connection setup.
Version 0.7.1
o New option to disable existing nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
o Looping, prompt and password dialogs in the scripting module
This is version 0.5.9
o a bunch of little fixes.
This is version 0.5.8
o all sorts of little fixes, in particular the 'Costs' file is
now generated again correctly
New in Verions 0.5.6
o configurable busy redial pause
New in Verions 0.5.5
o new copy function on the account dialog
New in Verions 0.5.4
o nothing new, sorry. Just bug fixes and work to get kppp to compile
with the new kdelibs and Qt 1.3
New in Verions 0.5.3
o option to not have kppp terminate the ppp connection on X-server exit
o leaving the lockfile edit box empty will cause kppp not to create a
lockfile
New in Verions 0.5.2
o if the X-server exits, kppp will terminate in a controlled fashion:
accounting will be terminated
ppp connection will be terminated
New in Version 0.5
o Phone cost accounting
o Configurable Modem Timeout
o Configurable pppd Timeout
o Dynamic Scripting Timeout
o Optional Automatic configuration of host and domainname
o modem device locking (Kppp should now work with mgetty)
o domain name configuration
o vastly improved documentation
o bug fixes
Special thank to Mario Weilguni and Jesus Fuentes Saavedra for their
contributions towards kppp-0.5!!
New in Version 0.4
o Better Window Placement
o KDE compliance -- Color Schemes etc.
New in Verion 0.3:
o mini-terminal: you no longer need a terminal communications program
such as minicom or seyon to setup and test you modem and isp connection.
o Statistics Dialog: Ever wanted to know the number of bytes and packets
that leave and enter your ppp interface? A complete set of ppp statistics
together with your local and remote IP addresses are displayed on the
statistics dialog.
o animation: Yes, you may trust your eyes!
o ATI query dialog: Ever wanted to know what sort of modem you own or
use?
o optional display of total time connected on the kppp icon
o Much improved dialing and modem handling: kppp is now ROCK-SOLID on my
machine. I hope this will be the case for you too. If not please mail me
and describe the problems you are experiencing. Also, see the Makefile
for instructions on how to have kppp give you more debugging info.
o Finally: kppp accepts commandline options! For the impatient, you
can have kppp start dialing immediately after start-up
For full help functionality you need "kdehelp" from the kde project.
For further info about kppp plese review the files in the docs
directory. For installation instructions read INSTALL.
There is still much to be done, however I believe you will find kppp
very useful already !
happy dialing !
