Try to use 'pon' and 'poff', to check if the problem comes from kppp or
pppd. pon connects you to your ISP and poff disconnects you from your
provider. 'pppconfig' will help you to configure your PPP ISP connection. You
may have a look at /var/log/ppp.log for debugging purposes. All those
programs come from package ppp.
