Hi,
Thank you for your reply but I have tried all these tricks already. I am
lo running as root. I have tried with having all the possible options in
'/etc/ppp/options' file including making it empty and 'lock' option is
unchecked in kppp as well as in '/etc/ppp/options' file. I am still
getting same error. Here is the messages from error log:

Jul 17 20:03:48 localhost pppd[2642]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Jul 17 20:03:48 localhost pppd[2642]: Using interface ppp0
Jul 17 20:03:48 localhost pppd[2642]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tts/4
Jul 17 20:04:18 localhost pppd[2642]: Terminating on signal 15.
Jul 17 20:04:24 localhost pppd[2642]: Connection terminated.
Jul 17 20:04:24 localhost pppd[2642]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit
clean:
Jul 17 20:04:24 localhost pppd[2642]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Jul 17 20:04:24 localhost pppd[2642]: Exit.

Again I have no problems connecting to internet using the command line
as I have mentioned in my original post.

Any ideas?
