Hi Daniel,

the ppp error message is coming up because there seems to be a problem using
the Van Jacobsen-Compression, I've read that in a German Debian User
list..... you can turn it off by removing -vj in /etc/ppp/options according
to this here (its' German though :-)

But I don't know if this solves your problems ^^
