You need to put "noauth" (without the quotes) into your: /etc/ppp/peers/provider file.
By default the /etc/ppp/options file has options set to require authorization. It could be a hugh security hole for many systems to "ship" with ppp allowing any caller to log into your system. Programs that set up your ppp/chat dialup configuration should place the "noauth" option into the provider file (provider is the default name but other names are possible). DO NOT change the entry in your /etc/ppp/options files as then your dial up ability will break anytime that pppd is upgraded. This is really not a KDE issue unless your dial up was configured using KDE tools and the tool failed to configure properly.
