No.

In the web browser Konqueror after an Internet address was input and the
return key was pressed the message

        "An error occurred while loading http://www.ntlworld.com
        Unknown host www.ntlworld.com"

was displayed.

When the dial-up program KPPP 2.4.1 was used to connect to the ISP
ntlworld.com and the return key was pressed in the web browser Konqueror the
message

        "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly!
        Exit status: 16"

appeared.

Yes.

The following configuration was set up during the installation stage of
Linux Mandrake 9.0.

        Connection name:                        ntlworld
        Phone number:                             126308005190100
        Login ID:                                        danielp.wheeler
        Password:                                     ******************
        Authentication:                              PAP
        Domain name:                              ntlworld.com
        First DNS Server (optional):       194.168.4.100
        Second DNS Server (optional): 194.168.8.100

In Mandrake Control Centre the default profile was

        "DialupConnection."

The default values were used for the following:

        IP.
        Gateway.
        DNS.
        Login Script.
        Execute.
        Accounting.

The DNS domain name default was

        "localdomain."

A new profile "ntlworld" was created. The DNS domain name input was
"ntlworld."

When the connect button was press the output was

                ATZ
                OK
                ATM0L0
                OK
                ATDT126308005190100
                CONNECT 34666/ARQ

and then the program terminated because of a timeout.
