Front ends (like kppp) cause more trouble than they are worth. Can it is
myu first suggestion.
Then if you want to ignore that advice,
route -n
to see what the routes are set up. Is there a default route?
cat /etc/resolv.conf
to tell you what the dns resolver setup is. Do both of these while ppp
is running.
