pppd daemon died unexpectedly

[c w a vandekolk med uu nl]

Hi RedHat-managers,

After upgrading to Redhat 6.1 I've problems with my modem.
When I want to establish a connection to my internet provider with the
KDE
tool Kppp I receive  the error message: The pppd daemon died
unexpectedly. In the debug mode I get error messages like Terminating on
signal 15 and Timeout expired
while kppp waiting for the interface to come up. Does somebody have a
solution for this problem?
Secondly is there a knowledge-base with old redhat-list questions?
Thanks in advance and I'll summarize,

Kees
