Your kppp seems to be sending an extra character after the dial command
(could just be a NL following the CR), which, when strictly interpreted,
would normally cause the dialing to stop, but to avoid spurious aborts the
driver is tolerant and silently ignores any input for 125ms when starting to
dial. This special workaround had been bypassed, but we put it back in
for you ;-)

The revised version (essentially identical to what I sent you) was released
yesterday and is already available from our website, so you can recycle
the floppy.
