Check the kppp settings for flow control. (Setup-->Device-->Flow Control) "CRTSCTS" usually works but try the others, xon-xoff,none.
Add the "debug" option to /etc/ppp/options and check /var/log/ppp.log for clues as to what happens after kppp starts connection. It should send an ATZ command to the modem and recieve OK before going on to the authentication handshake with the isp. hth, Keith.
