OK.  Here's my update.  I changed the config file, the 50-udev.rules file, back to the way it was when it was updated.  I then added myself to the uucp group and rebooted.  Well, my UPS didn't like that one bit.  So I added nut to the uucp group too.  Then I rebooted again.  Everything *appears* to be working fine.  Sorry for all the rebooting but they are serial ports. 

Why did I decide to go and do all this right now.  Here is the funny part.  Kppp could access the modem, it could tell it to dial out, it could connect, even get the DNS servers, but it was NOT going to send data or accept data like it should.  It was like spitting on a four alarm fire.  It would send some but it was just a little bit at a time.  Kopete worked fine though.  Go figure.  All that was run as a normal user.  To test that this was permission related, I opened a root Konsole and used wvdial to connect with.  The pages loaded like they should when connected that way.  I knew then it was either Kppp or I still had some lingering permission issues.  I suspected the later.

Lesson of all this, watch those udev updates.  They may work 99% of the time but that 1% can drive you nuts.

All this because my power went out for about 2 hours.  Maybe I need a bigger UPS.  ;-)

Thanks for all the help.

:D :D :D :D :D

One more little update.  After a while I starting seeing the same thing again.  I then remerged Kppp and it has been working for a while now.  I'm not sure what change that would have made though.  Just thought I would mention it in case someone else has the same issue.
