I've used the kppp wizard for paradise dialup as well,  disable the
accounting rules  though  as from memory that gave errors. Check your user
is a member of the dialout group. Also you can query the modem in kppp to
test it without dialling. Don't have the modem speed set above 115200. You
may need to make kppp setuid to have the correct permissions.
