[ale] Kppp and Mindspring

[Scott Nolde]

I battled something similar last week... Between hand configuring it to
work and using Linuxconf, linuxconf won out.  Use only linuxconf.  That
worked for me.

Do you have an entry to your /etc/hosts for your username?
0.0.0.0 (username).user.mindspring.com

Also, I had better luck with ppp0 than ppp1.  ppp1 never was able to
connect properly according to the logs.  It somehow always tried to use
the interface ppp0.  ppp1 never happened.
