I haven't used ppp with Debian, but I understood that permission to activate it was set in the same way as other resource accesses, such as sound - all you need to do is add the user to the appropriate group.
For example: to allow myself to use the sound card while a normal user, I just added myself to the sound group in /etc/group (man group for the format of this file) Matthew "R. D.
