Gentle folks,
I use KPPP to dial-in my ISP. Whenever I dial-up
for the first time (after the system boot up), the
link gets broken and the next time the link is
fine. Of course, using the proper username and
password both tries. Is there any reason why it
doesn't accomplish the negotiation with ISP's
systems at first? I don't change any params and
just dial-up the second time and then the
connection is ok.

I had the same problem with wvdial, it would not work on the first attempt
after a boot. KPPP would never work. I think this also happened with SUse
9.1 personnel. I switched dial-up providers and the problem went away!

It sounds like a timing problem. Possible it is taking your system too
long to get everyting loaded the first time, and the reply to the other
system's loging request times out. Or it could be a problem I had, where
the same dialup modem bank was shared by several ISPs, and the
connection was timing out while trying to validate my login with the
ISP's RAS server. To fix that, I had to increase the timout delay from
the default 60 to 120 in the ppp settings. (It shouldn't take 2 minutes
to make the connection.) I have not done it in kppp, but I know there is
a timeout option in ifup-ppp and wvdial when using those connection
methods, so I would guess kppp has one too.
