Installing a KDE ppp configuration tool for Linux will *NOT* work for
FreeBSD, since Linux configuration file locations are different enough
from FreeBSD that it won't find anything to work against.
Configuring PPP is usually as simple as editing /etc/ppp/ppp.conf,
editing the "set device ...", "set phone ...", "set authname ..." and
"set authkey ..." lines. And then running the ppp(1) program to see
what happens.
If you've got the ports system installed (and you've got Internet
connectivity), you can build KDE by:
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde2
make
make install

To install netscape:
cd /usr/ports/www/netscape47-communicator
make
make install
