remember that /dev/modem is a sybolic link; on my system, it
points to /dev/ttyS3.  so i used the following commands:

	# chgrp pppusers /dev/ttyS3
	# chmod 660 /dev/ttyS3

also, you might need to make pppd setuid root with these
commands:

	# chgrp pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd
	# chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/pppd

later for now,
