Your question was about kppp not allowing you to use cuaa4, which it 
doesn't and shoudn't as there are normally no more than 4 serial ports 
available, numbered cuaa0, 1, 2 and 3.  There is no /dev/cuaa4 on my 
system - did you create one on yours?
Your ppp data hasn't been cut&pasted from your ppp output - be nice if 
it had been as there might be something "insignificant" there which 
would help resolve the issue.
As it stands ppp would seem to be lying to you, or you have a weird mobo 
problem or you have sonfused ppp by mistyping the "set device" line in 
ppp.conf, or ...
cuaa4 is definitely wrong on "normal" i386 systems.
