My Debian system does not have a ppp group. This seems to be something
linuxconf-specific. By default, the group you must be in to use pppd is
"dip":
andreas@sirius:~$ ll /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 230604 10. Dez 2001 /usr/sbin/pppd
andreas@sirius:~$ ll -d /etc/ppp/peers
drwxr-s--- 2 root dip 1024 15. Sep 23:49 /etc/ppp/peers
andreas@sirius:~$ ll /etc/ppp/peers
-rw-r----- 1 root dip 579 20. Jul 23:30 provider
-rw-r----- 1 root dip 275 15. Sep 23:49 T-Online

Check the pppd man page for the meaning of its exit codes. This one
means:
The link was terminated because the peer is not responding to echo
requests.
This happens to me sometimes when I try do dial. When I try again, it
works. Did you try several times or only once?
