All, Up until now I have had no need to get ppp working, I did try a few months ago to get ppp working using kppp but found that the modem I was using needed a large driver (micro$oft windows). I recently aquired a 28.8 external modem which I have connected to one of my home PC's which is running Peanut linux. I have spent all evening trying to get ppp working and have failed.
You might want to try wvdial. It's an intelligent dialer that attempts to make sense of everything and handle it all for you, and it does a pretty good job, I must admit :-)
