using this utility in the past did not work for me in establishing a
solid ppp.
i was able to solve the problem earlier.
thanks for the advice.

RedHat5.1 and5.2 will definititely let a regular user
start pppd when set up the way it likes. Several of us had success
simply
by using linuxconf only - so try linuxconf 1-2-3 below.
1. Use linuxconf to completely remove all your ppp setups, exit from
linuxconf and have it 'save' the changes.
2. Make linuxconf add in your config afresh. Press the buttons for
PAP and "let peasant user start pppd".
3. Users start the connection by typing /sbin/ifup ppp0
that's
all.
They cannot run pppd directly, they have to use /sbin/ifup and
/sbin/ifdown.
The method above is known to work with RedHat5.1 when all updates
are installed (important), or with RedHat5.2.
