Once again, thank you to all who responded to the above. When logged in as "root" I can access "kppp" from the command line. I can also access it from the "Internet Dialer" icon from within KDE.
As a user in KDE and using the "Internet Dialer" icon I am still getting: KDEInit could not launch 'kppp': Could not find 'kppp' executable. > what you need to do is change the permissions on kppp. Open konqueror in > Super User mode. you will find the menu entry for this is in system>more > programs. go to /usr/bin and sroll down until you find the kppp entry. > right click on it to get the properties srceen. select the perrmissions tab > and select the exec/others option. then try kppp again. > > Note: for changing perrmissions, which is what we are doing here, there is > a faster way from the command line.

It turned out that because I had already set up a dialup, when I was installing, it caused a conflict with kppp. The problem was solved be adding "noauth" under the "pppd" in the modem setup.
