Setup of both basically involves editting files in '/etc/ppp'. But don't forget '/etc/resolv.conf'. I feel kernel ppp is easier to set up but offers less flexibility than user ppp. Reading the man pages pppd(8) and/or ppp(8) should suffice. If you still have further questions don't hesitate to ask.
