How to re-open kppp after closing window
 

Hi - I am a total newbie (2nd day ever on Linux after about 15 years on windows...)

I have just installed Fedora core 1 and have been playing around setting up the basics (printer / email / dial up connection etc) I use Kppp to connect to the internet and inadvertently closed the KPPP window. My modem didn't drop the connection which was fine but then when I finally did want to disconnect I couldn't work out how to recall Kppp to drop the line. I tried selecting Kppp again from the internet apps menu but the system told me that it was already running - which I kind of knew but didn't know how to get it back!

In the end I had to reboot to drop the connection (which I am sure is not the correct procedure!)

Open a consol and do poff. To dial out pon.

When kppp connects it will minimize to the taskbar to disconnect click on the task bar item and bring up the dialouge box and you can disconnect.
