(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Not really a bug but........ kppp setup allows /dev/modem /dev/cua0-4 /dev/ttyS0-4 /dev/ttyI0-4. My modem is connected to /dev/ttyP32 (Hayes ESP device) kppp works fine with /dev/modem symbolic linked to /dev/ttyP32 However..... use of /dev/modem is officially discouraged!!!! Can kppp be altered to allow user input into the devices selection?? Regards DD

So far only via manipulating the sources (devices.h). The list of available devices has to be limited due to security concerns. I don't know if there'll every be an easier way to change that. At least we'll have to wait of a config module (that has to be run by root). I changed the severity of this case to "wishlist". Harri.
What about Bluetooth serial devices /dev/rfcomm[0-...] ? Maybe they can be added to KPPP's list of devices ?
What about Bluetooth serial devices /dev/rfcomm[0-...] ? I beleive they should be added to the KPPP's list of devices. These are standard ones.
My KPPP 3.2.2 has a wider selection of devs now, perhaps my distribution (Debian) have added it. I guess it could be viewed as the distribution's task to add devs, since they are closer to the end user and know more about the devices present on his system. But it will probably still not accomodate for weird (*shrug*) winmodems like the one sitting in my mother's laptop... As long as it needs source access, I think it is something for the distribution, but a long-term solution would be to let the user do it, and that's more Bug #52345 BTW, I think the following bugs could be merged: 2254, 52357, 52345 (possibly merging the two former to the last).

hello guys my modem device file is: /dev/ttyUSB0 not listed by kppp ofcourse :(
There should be at least more /dev/modem devices (ie. /dev/modem0 etc). I'm in the situation where I have several modems but none of them is in the list. I can make symlink for one, but what about others? And btw, at least /dev/ttyACM[0-3] should be in the list (for users not using usbfs).
Present in kde 4.0.3 I think the best solution will be having a lineedit instead of a list of devices. Or move this bug to Solid and make a clever detection there.
kppp is no longer maintained as of 17.08.3. This can likely be resolved.
This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.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.
