Version: 2.3.2 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-generic For using a GPRS modem (like the U530) there are quite a lot of init strings to be sent, at least i would need three of them: ATZ #initialze modem AT$NWRAT=2,3 #select UMTS or GPRS mode +CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" #set provider specifing init string There are even more. Would it be possible to have an arbitrary number of init strings like a seperate dialog where you can add all modem init strings, or just a tab in the existing one like: ------------------------------------ Init Strings | Other Modem Settings ------------------------ [Add one] [Remove Selected] [ ] Init String 1 [ ATZ ] [ ] Init String 2 [ AT$NWRAT=2,3 ] and so on. Using Add one you get one more init string, using remove selected you can delete the selected one's. This would greatly help to get the UMTS/GPRS stuff to work, right now i have to use the pppd directly which is not my preferred solution...
I have noticed the same issue. It should be at least three INIT strings possible. The solution of Jan will be optimal.
Why the status is UNCONFIRMED? There are definitly only two INIT strings and many devices needs more than these two.
I think the maintainer is somewhat inactive right now. Back in 2007 i patched kppp up myself to allow for more than 2 init strings, however i couldn't find someone to send my patches to. I recently reformatted my harddrive, so that work is unfortunately lost :(. If you are somewhat into coding, you can quite easily modify kppp yourself and add the missing init strings.
This project is unfortunately no longer maintained. If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here: https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kppp You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived. Sorry for the inconveniences.
