Hi,
I had this problem too.
You must use "netcfg" the first time, make pppd work well, and then, you will
be able to use kppp.
So, as root, start the application "netcfg", and add an interface ppp.
Then, get pppd work : ifup ppp0
Surf on the internet.
Then, you can stop pppd : ifdown ppp0.
Now, you can use kppp. It should work.
Let me know it works well.

Objet: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
I just installed Mandrake 7 yesterday. I cant get pppd to work. It states
something like "The remote computer is requested to authenicate itself
I however am unable to supply [secret] password to get an IP address"
something like this. This does not change whether I am Root, or user.
Actually if from a terminal window I type "pppd" I get the same response.
I installed as low security, tried to change to medium security, no difference
I setup ppp from within linuxconf, and entered a name and "secret"
password to no avail I usually use kppp. I have changed permissions on
pppd, no good. The modem dials out and makes a connection, then
pppd died unexpectedly.
Second, I have managed to crash my X. I get an errno 111, something
about TransSocket error, cant find font "fixed".
Is there a way to fix this??
I recieved the disc with my purchase of Maximum Linux magazine
(Real good I might add)
