Still sounds like a mess. I have setup my net connection to happen *before* 
KDE runs so that stuff would not happen. I did this even back in the days of 
dialup rather than use kppp because if X (or KDE) crashed then I would not 
lose my net connection.

Sounds like Larry needs to get pppd or basic networking going from a  
lower-level and not rely on KDE's stuff.
