This always worked for me, especially with Storm rain.
Do the following 3 steps in a terminal.
I gave the pppd file rx permission for users:
chmod a+rx /usr/sbin/pppd
I made /usr/sbin/pppd setuid for root
chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd
and made the port accessible for users
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS1
I also added myself to the dialout group and the dip group.
adduser joebloe dialout
adduser joebloe dip
I also edited the /etc/ppp/options file to read "# auth" on line
37 or thereabouts and further down, where it says "lock", I
changed it to "# lock".
That got my regular user online.
Check back if you continue to have problems.

PS If you look back in the SLU list archives, you will find this exact
answer to this exact question. Don't forget to look there first for
other problems you might come across in the future. :) Be well!
