Geez, looks like this problem is getting common. Okay, my gf had the same
exact problem and this is what fixed it for her:
Go into kppp's settings, and in the screen where you put the phone number for
your ISP in, there is a button labeled 'Arguments' for passing arguments to
pppd. Click on that, then put in 'novj' as a pppd argument.
I hope that works for you.
