What am I doing wrong in SuSE. HELP APPRECIATED!

I use SuSE 5.2 and use the KDE's kppp tool to do the dialing. It's
a piece of cake to setup. Email me if you need any help.
>What am I doing wrong in SuSE. HELP APPRECIATED!
After some time and effort and a helpful post from someone else I finally
have successfully connected via PPP. I thought I would post this in an
effort to help others who may be suffering the same problems. Here's what I
did to enable PPP after a fresh installation of SuSe 6.2.
I went into KDE via Root and started "a small version of file Manager".
From here I changed directories to the root/user/sbin/ and right clicked on
pppd and changed it to allow access to everything. Then I changed
directories to /user/sbin/pppd and right clicked on pppd and changed the
permissions to allow access to everything. Then I changed directories to
the directory that has the desktop/kde and allowed access to everything by
right clicking the kppp icon.
I aslo followed Brad McMillan's advice and in the terminal window typed:
cd /dev
chmod 777 modem
chmod 777 ttySx (x is your modem number)
cd /
chmod 777 dev
After changing the permissions to these idtems I'm now able to connect
without problems. Good luck to all you other newbies. Now all I have to do
is figure out why my LAN card isen't working right :-)
