I tried some other things like 1) uncommenting the auth line in /etc/ppp/options> I tried to apt-get install ppp and the response was the current version is the most recent. I ran linuxconf and made sure I was in the ppp group-I am. I also uncommented debug in /etc/ppp/ttyS4 options. That's my modem. When I ran kppp this time, as a regular user the message from kppp was: "timeout expired while waiting for the PPP interface to come up". The detail box provided:
