You are very right to demand, that users have to read the manuals first before 
posting questions.

Indeed, I have read the changelogs for both, kppp and ppp first and googled 
for the problem, but I didn't read the README.Debian.

But now, I read it, and found, that everything is like described there:

- user is in group dip

- /etc/ppp/options:
...
auth
...

- /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options:
noauth


- additionally: /etc/ppp/peers/kppp
noauth

while there is a single argument in the ppp argument list of the setup for the 
provider in kppp:
call kppp

(I read that in a HOWTO)

But I testet that noauth or #noauth result the same connection error with a 
newer ppp version.

And again - after downgrading 
ppp 2.4.3-20050321+1  
with
ppp_2.4.2+20040428-6_i386.deb
kppp connects fine.

Do you have any other idea?
