[LUG] kppp weirdness



My ISDN line went strange a while back.  As part of the fix I got a new NTW 
(BT DIgital Access box ) with USB on it but that is, so far, another matter.

The data line glitched again, and got reset and its enthusiasm restored 
today, so all is hunky dory.

However, during the first outage I set up my laptop (SuSE 7.2 ) and an old 
analog modem, and demonstrated that I could get a connection using kppp - the 
account shows 1:37 of access in fact.  Easy to setup , effective, handy for 
going on PICNIC   (Paris, Sept 25-6 EU regional open source in healthcare 
meeting.) etc, albeit I think the Novotel is networked.

So during the 2nd outage I was surprised to see an absolutely blank kppp 
form, and an instruction to su and chown the onfig file, which on inspection 
I did not have.

Any thoughts?  Like on getting it back to zero and starting again? And also 
on a free French access point.
