The ``allow users'' effects your ability to run ppp. It doesn't
prevent access via pppctl or telnet. Ppp no longer creates a
diagnostic port by default - you've gotta ``set server ...''.
Something like
set server 3000 MyPasswd
or even
set server /var/tmp/ppp-ctl MyPasswd 0117
might be appropriate. The second version is more secure as you can
only use a unix-domain socket from the local machine. You're also
better off using pppctl instead of telnet - you get command line
editing with pppctl :-)

It grows on you :-)
