[OT?] PoPToP Problems

Sorry for posting here fellas (and ladies), but after a week, I'm not
getting any replies from the PoPToP list. I'm hoping one or more of you
have used PoPToP and can help me get it going. Maybe Alexander Dalloz
even has this answer in his almighty brain - he seems to know everything
else :)
Here goes - FC3 All Updates and the latest PoPToP installed and
receiving requests. All the PoPToP installation steps have been followed
as per instructions and versions checked. I do not honestly think the
problem lies there.
The problem seems to stem from me running pppd in demand mode or the way
I call pppd to dial my ISP (yes I'm on the most wonderful invention
called dial-up).
PoPToP sees the incoming connection, but as it hands off to pppd, pppd
seems to terminate unexpectantly, and I think it has to do with the way
my dial-up is set up, because chat also gets called to dial my ISP when
all this happens, even though this is obviously unnecessary, as I am
already connected.
While all this is going on, my ppp0 internet connection remains live.

Apparently I'm supposed to see a
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
Or something like that somewhere (although in my case should it be
ppp1?), but pppd dies before it hits that stage.
I don't seem to have a pppd log anywhere even though option DEBUG=yes is
set.
Any ideas anyone? At this stage I'll take anything, otherwise I'm going
to have to dump it in favour of some other VPN road warrior solution
which is not going to be anywhere near as convenient when you consider
PPTP is built into Windows XP clients.
Regards,
Ed.
