I had the same kind of probs - not solved using kppp - i'm using either
a command line : /sbin/ifup ppp0 to connect /sbin/ifdown ppp0 to
disconnect. And, i've put those command lines into a dockable small app
gkrellm wich works fine (i'm using blackbow as a wm). I did a ppc.rpm
for both gkrellm and gkrellm-devel (version 2.0.0), if you need those,
let me know, i can put that somewhere on the net...

Before all verify ( /sbin/route -F) that your ppp0 goes up, it might be
usefull to add a route (see man route).

Hope this could help... a bit °;=)
