I don't understand the problem here.  Being part of group network 
enables you to run ppp -direct and nothing else.  It shouldn't 
interfere with any other setup.

How have you got things set up ?  Are you exec'ing ppp - ie, the ppp 
-direct process should have a parent process id of 1.

I'm assuming that this is over a modem link too.  If you still can't 
get it working, send me the details.  There's info in the FAQ

  http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/userppp.html

about what log levels to set etc.
