Try upgrading kppp to the latest version 1.6.11; this fixes some bugs (see
list following). The rpm file is here (long URL):
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.1/distribution/rpm/RedHat-5.2
/i386/kde-applications/kdenetwork-ppp-1.1.1-1rh5x.i386.rpm

Excerpt from the kppp 1.6.11 ChangeLog:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1999-04-24 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* runtests.cpp: test for `lock' in /etc/ppp/options is not needed
any-
more, thanks to a hint from Paul Mackeras (pppd). Leaving away ttySx
(99/04/10) from the command line and binding stdin/stdout to the
device (99/01/12) stops pppd from trying to lock the device itself.
1999-04-10 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* connect.cpp: solved problems with pppd 2.3.6 and 2.3.7
* pppdata.cpp: PPPDebug() defaults to `false'.
* opener.cpp: introduced MY_ASSERT macro. We don't want to see our
security checks disabled by the NDEBUG flag.
1999-04-09 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* modem.cpp: improved protection against socket notifier zombie as
suggested by Brian Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
1999-04-06 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* modem.cpp: set modemfd to -1 in closetty().
* modem.cpp: block attempts to start the socket notfier if modemfd <
0.
* connect.cpp: call closetty() _before_ execppp(). This should solve
some of the reported timeout errors and the observed memory hogging.
* modem.cpp: added stop() in closetty() (just to be sure)
(all fixes above were proposed by Ian Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
* requester.cpp: setpppdRunning(false) _before_ killing the pppd.
1999-03-26 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* main.cpp: added flushX() before every command_execute()
* increased maximum modem string size
* store child pid in helper_pid instead of gpppdata.* (safer)
1999-03-20 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* connect.cpp: fixed "unknown speed" bug introduced in previous
version
1999-03-15 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* opener.cpp: replaced regex library calls with self-written
matching
algorithm. This hopefully prevents the segfaults reported with SuSE
and Caldera binaries. (Update: identified the assert() around
regcomp()
as the bug. It was left out when compiling with NODEBUG)
* connect.cpp: fixed bugs of internal scripting loop. Possible
symptoms: broken 'Expect' command and incorrectly parsed modem
speed.
1999-03-10 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* modem.cpp: dropped ISTRIP option and made everything else "8-bit
clean" by using unsigned char and removing 0x7F AND'ing. Characters
like [������] will work now.
* conwindow.cpp (ConWindow): initialise volinfo after discovering
that
this prevents a segfault with Qt2.0 (turned out to be a beta bug
only)
1999-03-09 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* opener.cpp: utilize CMSG_LEN macro if present
* opener.cpp: insert LF if missing at end of *-secrets file
* opener.cpp: supply REG_NOSUB flag to regcomp
1999-03-05 Harri Porten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* requester.cpp: relaxed check for msg_controllen due to alignment
problems on different hardware architectures (eg. Alphas). Proposed
by Martin Ostermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* removed unused or doubled code
