You need to be root to run pppconfig, but you probably already know that.  
Is pppconfig allowing you to make any choices? If so choose the option to 
"Create a connection" and answer the questions pppconfig asks.  If you've 
any confusion about the specifics, post your questions here with as much 
specific info as you can gather about the situation.

If pppconfig is closing without allowing you to finish, post here with the 
details ("what is pppconfig allowing you to do?", "what is the last thing 
you do before pppconfig dies?", or "I did these steps: launched pppconfig, 
chose "Create", ... then pppconfig [died | failed | finished]...")

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what is happening on your machine and a little more info will 
make it easier to help.
