Actually, the group is "network"
The article does note that membership in the 'network' group is necessary. But membership in the 'dialer' group is *also* necessary (at least in 5.x - I assume from your message that it may not be necessary in 4.x), and it wasn't AFAIK at the time the article was published. (Or maybe that was because I was using 4.x at the time? Oh well, maybe someone can enlighten me here....)
IMHO, the best resource for user ppp is still the manpage. Probably one of the best-written manpages there are.
I had a rough time with the man page myself. The tutorial, instead of providing what may be an overwhelming number of possible options to a newbie, describes a very simple step-by-step procedure.
