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 !
