I am aware of the scripts to get around this. ifup ppp0 etc, however I
don't want to use these scripts, I want to use kppp, which requires
permission with pppd.

kppp is a great dialer. For example you can easily smack in dialup info
for more than one ISP, and along with that, more than one number for
each ISP. I want this setup, as dialups are unreliable.
