Sorry... this time it didn't work. I tried a number of things, including 
my old routine a few times, and worked at it for an hour. Then, noticing 
that the debug window for KPPP was talking about password in the 
authentication message, I went back and even though my ID and password 
were in place, I re-typed  the password. voila! After that it did go 
through and I found myself online.

I wonder, was that a one-time thing, or will I just need to re-type the 
password each time? I guess experience will tell.

At least I can proceed with my transition phases while I keep alert to 
better ways to do this.

By the way, Eduardo, when I clicked on some links in Konqueror on KDE I 
found myself on a site with articles by you. Seems you are a published 
authority on these topics!  <GRIN>

I notice you wrote several articles on Slackware, which raises another 
question I've been thinking about. Maybe it's too soon for me to try out 
other distros, but if I were to do that, which ones would be best? (any 
one in the group may make suggestions) .


Blessings & Thanks,
Ruth
