The  kppp setup dialog has a "device" tab, in which the "modem" field has a 
default setting of "/dev/modem".    Whenever the network configuration tool 
is used on my system, "dev/modem" gets relinked to "/dev/ttyS0".  If the 
modem is not on the first serial port, then kppp no longer finds it.

When I used an external modem on the second serial port, I avoided this 
problem by setting the modem device in kppp to the real device ie 
"/dev/ttyS1".

Hang in there - you might find the Accounting features in kppp useful and the 
blinking "LEDs" are a neat feature when running an internal modem.
