If you get unknown host, then more of a name issue. You have your resolv.conf file specifiing the ISP's DNS? your PAP secrets file really just needs one. Do a tail on /var/log/message and see if you are really connecting (it should give you remote and local ip). The other thing, do you have a network card in the machine? Do you have a defaultroute established? If so, then when you connect to your ISP, the PPPD won't override your defaultroute with the dialup one (which you want it to). Do a route after you are connected and see.
Just edit resolv.conf in the /etc directory and add domain domain.com <- whatever your ISP domain would be. After you get it all working, copy the file to something like resolv.orig so when Yast overwrites it, you can copy it over again. ;-) As a side note, kppd (in KDE) will put in your DNS stuff, but NOT the domain.
