package yet, and there are no apidocs for kdenetwork).

Also add a patch to point kppp users to our README, which I've revamped.

-kppp and execution of kppp
-==========================
+Configuring and Running KPPP
+============================
 
-In order to actually use kppp you must first be a part of the "dip" group.
-This is the standard for using ppp in general with Debian.  If you are not a
-member of this group, you will not be able to run pppd or setup connections.
+In order to use KPPP, you must first be a member of the "dip" group.
+Membership in this group is a prerequisite for any and all use of ppp in
+Debian. If you are not a member of this group, you will not be able to run
+the ppp daemon (pppd) or make a dialup connection.
 
-Furthermore, kppp requires that the ppp daemon be run with the "noauth"
-option.  However, pppd's default setting, in /etc/ppp/options, is "auth",
-and for security reasons it should remain so.  To work around this problem,
-uncomment "noauth" in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options.  You should then be able
-to connect.
+KPPP also requires that the ppp daemon be run with the "noauth" option.
+However, pppd's default setting, in /etc/ppp/options, is "auth", and for
+security reasons it should remain so. To work around this problem, uncomment
+"noauth" in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options. You should then be able to connect.
 
 Note that if "noauth" is uncommented, a setting of "noauth" in
-/etc/ppp/options will conflict with kppp. Note also that uncommenting
+/etc/ppp/options will conflict with KPPP. Note also that uncommenting
 "noauth" opens the possibility that other malicious members of the "dip"
-group could now potentially abuse the ppp daemon with the "noauth" option.
+group might potentially abuse the ppp daemon.
+
+Finally, if you are uncertain as to which device node represents your modem,
+you can try to find out by running "dmesg | grep tty". The output of this
+command will often provide a sufficient hint.
+
+If the answer seems to be that your modem is on a node, such as ttyS14, that
+KPPP does not accept as a configuration option, then you should create a
+symlink from that node to /dev/modem (by running, as root,
+"ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem", where ttyS14 is replaced by whatever node your
+modem is on). Then simply configure KPPP to use /dev/modem.
+
+If you use udev, then symlinks in /dev will not be preserved
+across reboots. In this case, you should edit, as root, /etc/udev/links.conf,
+adding a line that resembles "L modem    /dev/ttyS14". You must then either
+reboot, or run "/etc/init.d/udev restart", for the link to be created.
