1, me!

Yup, KPPP is already configured such.

I assume this is the bit you're interested in:

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:217.134.125.80  P-t-P:195.92.66.188  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:142 (142.0 b)  TX bytes:97 (97.0 b)

And from "route":

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

OK, I've done that, before and after connection (just in case).  But still not 
anything, not even DNS.  Pinging a static IP gives "ping: sendmsg: Operation 
not permitted".

And now I have to start Firestarter to send this message... :-(
