I am not certain that this will be of help. I don't use KPPP on this machine
because I can't configure it to work with my USB to Serial cable attached to
my external modem.
During the install of Sarge, I configured my connection and now only type
<pon> in a terminal after allowing my user to be added to <dip> permissions.
I assume that you are on dial-up? As I am. I have never had any problem with
connection.
I altered only one thing in my </etc/ppp/options> file:-
mtu 576
This to make my connection speed work faster and much better.
I'm not certain that if, as root you might not be able to type <#
dpkg-reconfigure ppp> that you might not be able to grab it that way, and
connect using <pon>
Hope this helps
