My gf had the same exact problem (i.e. all her settings were correct, she could
send data but not receive). What fixed it for her was something that's been
suggested a lot lately on this list for improving connection speeds: In kppp's
setup, type in 'novj' (without the quotes) as a pppd option, to disable Van
Jacobsen Compression.
Good luck, I hope that works for you.
