Once again, thank you to all who responded to the above.
When logged in as "root" I can access "kppp" from the command line. I can
also access it from the "Internet Dialer" icon from within KDE.
As a user in KDE and using the "Internet Dialer" icon I am still getting:
KDEInit could not launch 'kppp': Could not find 'kppp' executable.

This solved the problem in part. It allowed me to dial out but it immediately
died with a pppd problem. It turned out that because I had already set up a
dialup, when I was installing, it caused a conflict with kppp. The problem
was solved be adding "noauth" under the "pppd" in the modem setup.
Thanks again,
Bill.
