KDSL is a frontend to pppd for connecting to the internet with ADSL.
The reason I started this project was because I needed an ADSL tool that could handle multiple accounts. The only tool I managed to find to handle
this task well was tkpppoe. Though there is nothing wrong with tkpppoe, I would have preferred a KDE application. So, I waited a while thinking that
someone would eventually write an ADSL tool for KDE, but not much happened, so I ventured out to make my own. The aims of this project are:
1. To easily handle multiple ADSL accounts.
2. To make the program familiar to people who are used to Kppp, the dial-up tool
3. To provide all sorts of useless and not so useless information, such as hours spent online, Megabytes
uploaded and downloaded in a set period of time, etc.etc. Basic accountancy - (started in version 0.2)
4. To provide this information as quickly as possible, through the dock icon.
5. To make the Dock Icon themeable.
In order to use kdsl-0.3, you will need to download and install pppd-2.4.1. You will also need to download the pppoe.patch and apply it to the pppd directory.
Instructions for this can be found in the help section.
