I don't use kppp or WV dial, so I don't know what exactly they're
doing differently.  Is /dev/modem a link to the correct /dev/ttyS
device? You might look at the configurations of both to see what
they're looking at. I assume the modem device has the correct
permissions to be readable by users other than root?
