Not sure you need to place someone's name in the subject line
when posting to the group. Your problem in the subject line
helps others help you as well.

Short answer, I don't know. Ask someone who knows how to use kppp.

In Debian, I would just use pppconfig; it always worked for me.
In fact, on my system, it is as easy as editing the file "/etc/ppp/peers/<connection name>"
But, I do not suppose your system has that file. I literally do not know where/what
yours would be on a Redhat/Mandrake system.

Think of symbolic links as "shortcuts". Most every
windows user can relate to a shortcut, there are thousands
and thousands of them on their system.
