I had the same problem with an external modem. It would show initilizing
and just sit there never going any futher.
To fix the problem open kppp Setup/Modem/Modem Commands. Look for 2
settings Pre-Init Delay and Post-Init Delay
and use the slider control of each to increase the time. I set each of mine
to 100. My modem worked perfectly after doing that.
