No, ou do not link the modem to kppp. kppp, I believe, is a gui program
which allows you to set up ppp properly. Part of set up is to tell ppp
where your modem is located. Set it up so that it is always /dev/modem.

Then you link the actual device to /dev/modem. /dev/modem is nothing but
a symbolic link to the actual device.

ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem

or

ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem

or

ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem

whatever works (ttySX)
