kppp: pppd quits
When I use kppp, pppd quits with exit status 1, which the manpage says means
a critical system error was encountered. The pppd log:
Mar 26 18:01:31 debian pppd[797]: pppd 2.3.11 started by norm, uid 1000

wvdial, on the other hand, works fine, and so did kppp before a reinstall of
my computer.
I'm thinking authentication is part of the problem. On terminal-based
authentication, pppd doesn't crash until I click 'continue.' The kppp setup
forces some type of authentication option, but the wvdial pppd config file
has the noauth. I can't add noauth to "Additional pppd arguments..." under
the kppp setup because it contradicts with what kppp automatically sends.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
