[Bug 298323] [NEW] Can't find KPPP on Kubuntu 8.10 distro CD-ROM

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I installed Kubuntu 8.10 in a dual boot configuration from the final
release CD-ROM obtained from LinuxCD.org. Since the only Internet
connection I have in my rather rural location is dial-up, the KPPP
utility is essential to my utilization of Kubuntu. KPPP has been present
in previous versions of the distribution disk, so I ASSUME that it was
removed from this release because of a mistaken assumption that the
growing availability of broadband relegated this utility to something
that was rarely used.

I ASSUME that I can obtain this utility from the Ubuntu Repository by
simply taking my computer to someplace where broadband is available.
Although Kubuntu 8.04 is working in my other hard disk partition (with
functional KPPP), I do not know how to use that version to obtain the
KPPP utility from the Intrepid Repository and properly transport and
install the software to the Itrepid partition of my machine. (Could such
a workaround might be the subject of a release note?)

Hardware notes: I am running an IBM Thinkpad T40 Type 2373-8CU. The
hardware modem was not detected in Kubuntu 8.04 and previous versions so
that I am using a Zoom USB modem series 1063. with a driver supplied by
Zoom.

Note also that I couldn't find the Gnome equivalent to KPPP on the final
release CD-ROM for Ubuntu 8.10 obtained from the same source. Hence my
assumption to replace KPPP with more appealing 'goodies' because of a
mistaken assumption about its current usefulness.
