By default kppp uses /dev/modem as the default modem device.  Usually this is a 
symlink in your /dev direcory to the ttyS* device which is the actual modem.  cd to 
/dev and type 'file modem' make sure it is a symlink to your modem.  You modem will 
more than likly be on ttyS1 (comm 2 in windows).

If it is not there make sure you have a real modem and not a win-modem. It its a 
winmodem there isn't much help for you.
