Re: can you sign as root

The password is the same as the password you use to log in.

If you can log in you have not lost the password.

See http://www.linux.com/howtos/PPP-HOWTO/tools.shtml for info about KPPP.

What kind of modem do you have? Linux and winmodems don't go well together. A serial external modem should always work.

Re: can you sign as root

What kind of modem is it? Is it being detected but not utilized, or is kubuntu missing it all together?
