After adding 'noauth'  to /etc/ppp/options kppp still fails with this
message: 
 
Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself 
Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: but I couldn't find any suitable
secret (password) for it to use to do so. 
Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: (None of the available passwords
would let it use an IP address.) 
 
and wvdial has this output.

No internet connection occurs. I think in other distros I would get a  
'we are connected' message from wvdial, but I haven't used wvdial in
awhile. I don't know what the  
'pid of ppd: (###)' signifies 
 
pon highstream.net dryrun gives this output: 
 
/highstream.net)

using pon without the dryrun gets the modem to dial (well all these
programs do that) but nothing else happens 
there isn't even any screen output with 'pon highstream.net" 
I do appreciate the responses. I will keep working on it. Thanks JY

  Do you still get auth when you issue
        
    pon highstream.net dryrun

If so, perhaps other files under /etc/ppp have auth commented in?
