Can you share the connection using KDE Control Center? (Network Settings -> Network Connections -> click 'Add...' button abd chosse 'Shared')?

Unfortunately, I don't have a ppp connection to experiment with; maybe it make sense to read Network Manager help about sharing connections. Or look for posts like this one:
