+<para
+>Many &kde; users report problems using &kppp;. But before you complain about &kppp;, make sure you have already checked the following:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem
+><para
+>Can you dialup to your <acronym
+>ISP</acronym
+> without using &kppp;? If you cannot, then perhaps &kppp; is not the culprit after all.</para

+<listitem
+><para
+>Have you gone through the &kppp; documentation at least three times and followed its instructions and trouble-shooting suggestions?</para
+></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+<para
+>The &kppp; documentation can be accessed through the <application
+>&kde; Help Centre</application
+>. Last, but not least, the &kppp; homepage is at <ulink url="http://ktown.kde.org/~kppp/"

+<listitem

+> to create a new dialup account. Select the <guilabel
+>Dial</guilabel

+>Arguments</guibutton
