A dialer? A dialer to dial what? Mandrake comes with a dialer, unless you're looking for some sort of War Games Dialer.

I wanna dial up to my ISP

KPPP is bundled with KDE and is easier to set up than Windows Dial Up Networking. If you installed Mandrake, it should've asked you during set up about your ISP information.

off topic, but...

When I installed CorelLinux a few months ago to test it out, and I still had my dialup modem, I had a hell of a time setting up an ISP connection. You know why? They bundled some godawful stripped down bare bones kppp called 'safe kppp' or something like that...in the help files they claimed that the REAL version was too powerful! WTF?! This stupid thing couldn't run a script upon dialing up, which my ISP needed, so I was fvcked. I had to go to freshmeat.net in Windows and download the real kppp.

Ok... You answered your own question when you spoke the word "Corel".

This gentleman is using Mandrake. I've not seen Mandrake come with anything but regular strength KPPP.

Thanks for the info guys.......but mandrake is already installed. Where would I go to set up the KPPP?

If you're using a winmodem it won't work. That's my problem, and i'm too cheap to fix it.
