Before starting KPPP there is no route, once started there is a route
to ppp0 and it shows the name of the isp.

In spite of this I was still unable to connect using Konqueror. At
that point I got fed up with it and downloaded and burnt (using
another computer of course) the weekly snapshot of Debian Lenny. So I
trashed the Kubuntu system in favour of Debian. My first action
following that was to launch the Updater. During update download I
could not connect a browser. Notably at times the download speed went
as low as 2kbyte/sec. When I stopped the update download I was able to
browse. It's not impossible that the original problem was simply a
browser timeout due to low connection speed. The Debian system is
working now so there it stays.

Thanks for your input.
