I also had difficulties and after having read all ppp posts from the archives for the last 7 months I decided to only use pon and to start fresh.
First I uninstalled ppp and pppconfig. Next I installed fresh copies of ppp and pppconfig. Then after install was complete I ran pppconfig. pppconfig is relatively easy to use but there are some gotchas - with my previous linux installs I was not using PAP (I could not get it to work with kppp, but a regular chat script would work - this time I ignored that and just said to use PAP because that is what windoze uses) So I specified PAP and my full userid in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Then I just followed all the other prompts and did not touch anything. Then I rebooted and had pppd running. After that I ran pon provider. Once I was successfully connecting then I began to make stepwise changes.
