	I missed your first thread, so I don't know what was wrong then, but I had 
the same problem some time ago and solved it by following this piece of 
advice: (from the README.Debian file in the kppp documentation):

----------------------------------------------------------------
KPPP also requires that the ppp daemon be run with the "noauth" option.
However, pppd's default setting, in /etc/ppp/options, is "auth", and for
security reasons it should remain so. To work around this problem, uncomment
"noauth" in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options. You should then be able to connect.

Note that if "noauth" is uncommented, a setting of "noauth" in
/etc/ppp/options will conflict with KPPP. Note also that uncommenting
"noauth" opens the possibility that other malicious members of the "dip"
group might potentially abuse the ppp daemon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

	Have you already tried doing this?
