[Techtalk] KPP Problem

[kansas_kennedy at phreaker.net]

Hi everyone:

I'm facing this problem in my freshly installed RHL 7.2. While dialing in 
kppp it says:

"time out expired while waiting for the ppp interface to come up" and it 
hang out while in the 'waiting to connect' mode.

I tried to increase the time out for pppd to 60 seconds, chmod u+s 
/etc/sbin/pppd, and removed the only word from the /etc/ppp/option file, 
the word was 'lock'. I have also cmhod 755 /etc/ppp/options file.

Here's my /var/log/messages

I'd be grateful to anyone helping me out to solve this problem.
