When I use the Redhat ppp dialer (Redhat 6.1) it rarely connects on the
first attempt, usually having to dial a second time to connect, this
morning it didn't connect until the 4th attempt. Can anyone shed any
light on what might be going on here or should I just use Kppp?

Update the rp3 package with RPM from redhat. If you need the package
name e-mail me.

Either go to RedHat site and look at the Gotchas for 6.1, or use 6.2.
