Description Nick Shaforostoff 2003-10-15 19:51:30 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

Please, provide automatic CBCP (windows) callback support.

I've found a lot of articles about how to use it using scripts. 
After connecting (on re-call) it prints my remote ip, but I can't ping anything (either using hostname or ip).

I use it (on windows) because I must pay $0.5 per hour only for telephone communication

What do you mean by "callback"? Does this program you're referring to exist in any of the platforms Kppp runs on?

Can't you do what you want with pppd's ip-up scripts?
Comment 2 Nick Shaforostoff 2003-10-16 19:34:15 UTC 
Callback is 
when you call privder, it disconnects
and provider calls you.
So you must not pay for telephone communication (cause call is incoming)

This feature is very, very neccessary. I use only callback providers because I don't have extra money. And I do not want to call using scripts. This feature will help users who do not familiar with script writing.
Comment 9 Harri Porten 2004-04-24 20:07:28 UTC 
OK. Patch is in. Thanks a lot. Hope you get around trying it out before KDE 3.3 gets released. Had to make 1-2 minor modifications  needed because of another patch that went in shortly before. Thanks again.
