I thonk this is a FAQ in the docs.  remove the lock option in
/etc/ppp/options, and even if it is the only line, do not delete the
file!.  the options file must exist, even if empty.

Just what is says: /etc/ppp/options contains the 'lock' option, telling
pppd to lock the serial port so that another program will not try to use
it.  This as it should be.  Does Kppp object to this?  If so, it is buggy.

My idea would be to read the pppd man page. Kppp uses pppd, /etc/ppp/options
are described in pppd manual page. Ergo read the fine manual!
