What do you mean with 100% ? Do you get messages in /var/log/messages
every second? 

Thatīs my output to /var/log/messages:

I used kppp, too. (Now, since one week, after update to kernel 2.2.13
kppp does not 
work any longer, kppp claims "kernel does not support ppp") . Perhaps
you 
have to install suseppp  from CD. This is the way Suse realises ppp. 
You can modify the script ppp-up like you want. kpppd is dedicated only
to
setup ppp-connection, nothing else I think. Thats a disadvantage of
graphical
comfort. But try the options kppp offers in the initial panel
to start a skript/programm before setting up  ppp.
