Let me get in on this thread. I've been having the same problems as Rainer
Lindenmaier (and many others). I have installed Linux Mandrake 7 on three
PCs. I can't get KPPP to start on two of them (don't ask me why it works on
one of my desktop PC's - an IBM Aptiva with 64MB of RAM and an AMD 300 MHz
processor with an external modem). On a second desktop PC (Cyrix PR200 with
80 MB of RAM and both internal and external modems) the modems dial out,
connect with the ISP's modem and then I get a message KPPP timed out. I get
the same message on my Fujitsu C-4235 notebook (AMD K-2 450MHz 64 MB RAM,
and an internal Linmodem that also dials out, connects and then kppp refuses
to start. I've added the "noauth" line to the options file. I've even
installed Kppprpm from a Red Hat 6.2 disk with no success. Does anyone else
have any ideas? It is really frustrating having a Linux system which really
depends on the Internet for the latest documentation and updates and not
being able to connect to the Internet.

I am willing to bet that you set your security level high enough
that kppp is requiring the remote server to authenticate itself
As root edit /etc/ppp/options and add this line
noauth
and things should start working
