Exactly the same error with kppp on my oldworld. Idem with gnome-ppp, although this interface ppp0 does exist for me. So I connect to the internet thanks to a ppp0 interface set up with linuxconf's netconf. (netconf is buggy in 8.0, at least for me, and you should have patience, try, and retry again to have success, because sometimes, choosing an option in netconf -"allow user to connect", for instance- may let the connection stop in the middle of the telephone number composition). You can directly connect/disconnect with this interface using the commands ifup ppp0 and ifdown ppp0 in a terminal. And in gnome, you can use modemlight's applet which very cute. Bertrand Dekoninck.
