    You say to run gnome-ppp I have been unable to find it in any directory.
Where is it located and how do I start it?  I am  running Red Hat 6.0 on an
Intel machine.  The problem is still when I click the on button an the applet
as user nothing happens.  It doesn't  even access the modem.  If you can help
me find gnome-ppp I can figure out the rest of it.  Also in case it matters I
have both Gnome and KDE installed.  Should I remove the KDE?
