Hi David,
I solved most of my kppp problems by reading
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
This set of instructions is very long and detailed. It was written
originally for an earlier version of ppp but it worked well for my kppp
under Mandrake 6.0. Give it a try and tell us how you fared.
Regards,
