called kPPP, which works great. With that you can create a script to login
which sends a LCP packet after a certain period of time to get the server to
continue. I think the KDE homepage is www.kde.org, but i'm not sure. Anyway
the SuSE online support database can propably tell you what you need. It's
on www.suse.com . Just click the support link.
