I did this without luck. Checking /var/log/messages tells me that the dialer (for me both kppp and gnome-ppp) can't get access to /dev/ttyS3 - the modem. Works fine from root. I've tried several combinations of permissions, ownership and group with all files involved (pppd, kppp or gnome-ppp and /dev/ttyS3), no luck. Still works fine from root reguardless of what I do and will immediately disconnect when I hit connect from the user account.
