I use the both of them (WindowMaker 0.60.0 and wmppp 1.3.0) and have never
had any problems. I basically use wmppp to call the command-line
scripts that I'd previously used to start and stop ppp. Below, you'll find
my .wmppprc file. If you're a debian user, you'll recognize pon and poff as
the scripts created by debian's pppconfig that start and stop ppp,
respectively. If you're not, just point to the scripts that worked for you
previously. Hopefully, that will work.

Hope this helps.

#.wmpprc
speed: /etc/ppp/getmodemspeed
start: /usr/bin/pon
stop: /usr/bin/poff
ifdown: /usr/bin/pon
