[ale] kppp and its temp entries in /etc/resolve

[phrostie]

I used to use kppp with mandrake and loved it(and i don't even like KDE).
since switching to debian i have not been able to get it working.
I've been using wvdial. it works but not as well as kppp.
i can't seem to turn off/adjust the sound, it takes 5 to 6 redials(about 5 
minutes) to do what kppp did in less than a minute. 

i would also be interested in learning more about kppp, because currently it 
is unusable.
