Kppp and pppd for K18.04.3 for dialup

[ray burke]

can anyone help?

I viewed the Kppprc file and showed that the ISP
was back to DoDo. I then did the
"sudo nano /etc/ppp/pap-secrets" and changed the
password back to the dodo password needed to logon.
Then when I done connect it didn't finish connectionm-
(connect 115200),when done thru Kppp icon or pppd icon?
