Thanks for the response. I created a new dial-out profile, but it
still did not work. Here is the kppp log:
Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself
Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: but I couldn't find any suitable
secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: (None of the available passwords
would let it use an IP address.)
Here is what happens when I run it from the terminal:
mark@debian:~$ kppp

Kernel supports ppp alright.

pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use
to do so. pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP
address.) It was pppd that died
pppd exited with return value 1
