1 kppp - a dialer for pppd
3 kppp is a dialer and front end for pppd. It allows for interactive script
4 generation and network connection setup.
8 o New option to disable existing nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
10 o Looping, prompt and password dialogs in the scripting module
14 o a bunch of little fixes.
18 o all sorts of little fixes, in particular the 'Costs' file is
19 now generated again correctly
24 o configurable busy redial pause
28 o new copy function on the account dialog
33 o nothing new, sorry. Just bug fixes and work to get kppp to compile
34 with the new kdelibs and Qt 1.3
38 o option to not have kppp terminate the ppp connection on X-server exit
39 o leaving the lockfile edit box empty will cause kppp not to create a
44 o if the X-server exits, kppp will terminate in a controlled fashion:
45 accounting will be terminated
46 ppp connection will be terminated
50 o Phone cost accounting
51 o Configurable Modem Timeout
52 o Configurable pppd Timeout
53 o Dynamic Scripting Timeout
54 o Optional Automatic configuration of host and domainname
55 o modem device locking (Kppp should now work with mgetty)
56 o domain name configuration
57 o vastly improved documentation
60 Special thank to Mario Weilguni and Jesus Fuentes Saavedra for their
61 contributions towards kppp-0.5!!
65 o Better Window Placement
66 o KDE compliance -- Color Schemes etc.
70 o mini-terminal: you no longer need a terminal communications program
71 such as minicom or seyon to setup and test you modem and isp connection.
73 o Statistics Dialog: Ever wanted to know the number of bytes and packets
74 that leave and enter your ppp interface? A complete set of ppp statistics
75 together with your local and remote IP addresses are displayed on the
78 o animation: Yes, you may trust your eyes!
80 o ATI query dialog: Ever wanted to know what sort of modem you own or
83 o optional display of total time connected on the kppp icon
85 o Much improved dialing and modem handling: kppp is now ROCK-SOLID on my
86 machine. I hope this will be the case for you too. If not please mail me
87 and describe the problems you are experiencing. Also, see the Makefile
88 for instructions on how to have kppp give you more debugging info.
90 o Finally: kppp accepts commandline options! For the impatient, you
91 can have kppp start dialing immediately after start-up
93 For full help functionality you need "kdehelp" from the kde project.
94 For further info about kppp plese review the files in the docs
95 directory. For installation instructions read INSTALL.
96 There is still much to be done, however I believe you will find kppp
