Kdsl is a utility to assist in setting up and using multiple internet accounts. Kdsl currently supports PPPoE ADSL, and Dial-up. Future versions of Kdsl are aimed at implementing ISDN, PPPoA DSL, and Cable connectivity. Rudimentary support is offered for USB modems.

Kdsl was designed on a LinuxFromScratch distro using the Linux Kernel 2.4.22. It has been thoroughly tested on different ADSL (PPPoE) accounts, and PAP/CHAP Dialup connections.
