Thanks Ray,

I am aware of kppp as well as of gnome-ppp with both I can connect only to one ISP in SW8.0. If I try to connect to the second ISP I get

tail messages:

Apr  1 10:33:19 philonline pppd[476]: pppd 2.4.1 started by pfheiss, uid 500
Apr  1 10:33:19 philonline pppd[476]: Using interface ppp0

Apr  1 10:33:31 philonline pppd[476]: Remote message: Request Denied
Apr  1 10:33:32 philonline pppd[476]: Connection terminated.
Apr  1 10:33:32 philonline pppd[476]: Exit

tail syslog:

1 10:33:31 philonline pppd[476]: PAP authentication failed

If I do a pppsetup for the second ISP I then can connect to this one, however, not anymore to the first one and get the same messages.

I deleted all the files created with pppsetup in /etc/ppp edited pap- and chap-secrets, the same, no conncetion to either the first or the second ISP, same above messages using either kppp or gnome-ppp

Where is the dog buried?

Regards

Peter

Somewhere in your back yard, no doubt. But really, Peter, how do you expect a helpful answer with so little information?

For the unsucessful attempt, you characterize it only as"If I try to connect to the second ISP". How? With what configuration file? What do the messages from a *successful* connection look like to compare this to? Is the syslog entry you provide the *only* one? Is the "failed" ISP even using PAP?

Just to be clear ... if this were some familiar idiosyncracy of Slackware 8.0, I expect a Slackware user on this list would already have answered your question. And if you are lucky, someone may yet do so.

But the silence (aside from Richard's more general response) up till now leads me to think this is a problem that involves some peculiarity of your setup. To troubleshoot that, we need a good description of what you are attempting ... the questions I asked in the prior paragraph *illustrate* the kinds of info we need, but they are not an *exhaustive* list, so please don't treat them as one. Instead, think what you would want to know about this problem if someone were asking you for help, and use that to compose a report to us.

Unfortunately it is not the case.

I suspect the pppsetup is where the dog is buried. Before I used kppp or for that matter gnome-ppp I had done a pppsetup. Only the ISP I choose in pppsetup is the one I can connect with in kppp/gppp. If I want to use another ISP I have to change it in pppsetup. I can't help it these are the facts.

To my reading it is pppsetup which puts a lock somewhere that only "its ISP" can be connected to even when I have deleted all its files I know off.

I now reinstalled all the network section n1. That wiped-out the pppsetup. I then edited the necessary files in /etc/hosts and /etc/ppp/pap/chat/options with the result that kppp tries to connect to either ISP, however, cannot make the final connection and gives up after running the message: interface is down.
I must have missed-out something.
There are no messages in syslog and the following in /var/log/messages

Apr  3 08:30:54 philonline pppd[220]: pppd 2.4.1 started by pfheiss, uid 500

Apr  3 08:31:43 philonline pppd[220]: Terminating on signal 15.
Apr  3 08:31:43 philonline pppd[220]: Exit.

If nothing helps I will reinstall Slackware and then avoid using pppsetup.

Unless i8 am missing some very spesific machine problems you may or may not have i can say, Yes, kppp WILL do what you want and need.

KPPP is capable of handeling different ISP accounts very well, it lets you configure "accounts" for different ISP's meaning different login names and different passwords for all your accounts.

The above is what KPPP allows you to store in different accounts, ie, different loging names and different passwd's period.

I have never used pppsetup but i am very familier with it and i know how it works.
Belive me, KPPP is what you want.

Richard if you think only Dutchmen are stubborn you are mistaken. ;-)

I now reinstalled SW8.0 and as I suspected kppp connected to the different ISPs as I know it would since the time I had a SUSE 5.1 box, provided you do not run pppsetup first. To make sure now not to make this mistake again I deleted that program first thing. Gnome-ppp works just as well now.

I dont think a reinstall was nessasary at all, all you needed to do was remove the pppsetup files in /etc/ppp .

Anyway i am glad to hear your problems are now somewhat smaller.
