I got there too... except kppp was set with the number 999999 by default,
and '999' dials the emergency service here :-o.
If this does not sort quickly, get the PPP-HOWTO on one console, and vi or
some editor on another. Skip the bilge in the document (Up to section 10, I
think) 'What this contains, what it does not contain, biography of anyone who
ever maintained it, history of dialup systems from Faraday, etc.
Then check each thing it suggests.
