An easier way then to manually add the user into dialup group is to
adduser option in the pppconfig program. Start pppconfig and select
"Advanced options," then select "adduser."
Hope this helps!

You don't need to. Pppconfig is just for configuring ppp, not for running
it. To be able to use pon as a user to bring up ppp run
Set up pppconfig as root and then add
