Then I discovered Linux Mandrake 7.2 and wanted to use my MSN account to access the internet. Here's how: In KPPP (labeled "Connect to the Internet" on the KDE desktop) 1. I named my connection "MSN" (I know, no imagination whatsover) 2. I entered the phone number for local access (you can find this in the Dial-up networking properties, if you are still using a Windows9x machine or have a dual-boot system). 3. I entered my user name. Here's the poorly documented part of the whole process, so pay attention! For user name "Bob", enter "MSN/Bob". 4. I entered my password, and left everything else blank. Simple!
