Make sure that your options file is edited properly, and that the line "plugin passwordfd.so" is in your /ppp/peers/kppp file.
It is, and is being loaded each time pppd starts. Are you sure? You said you were using kinternet and wvdial.
<snip> In using KInternet as a dialer, this is how the connect process begins: Starting connection. (2003-09-17 17:00:56 PDT) pppd: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded. pppd: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42 pppd: --> Initializing modem. pppd: --> Sending: ATZ pppd: OK etc....... In using wvdial to dial from the shell, the output does not show the use of "Plugin passwordfd.so" , yet I am prompted for the password, and manually input it in the shell, and the connection continues fine (until I get the (SIGHUP) to pppd).
There is a command string to 'cat' the actual commands in /etc/ppp/options at the beginning of the file. Try this on options, peers/xxx (whichever program you are using), and if you have another options.ttySx file (I made this for different options for different ports, as per the ppp man page).

Maybe this might give a clue, though if changing your modem string actually changed the behaviour, it does sound modem driver related, not ppp's problem.
Changing the modem string did not change anything. I can use the default created by wvdialconf, or the default one from windoze, with the same results. I also added commands to the init string that I felt might help, but nothing changed.
