I never used it, so I don't know. A very useful feature in kppp was the 
traffic/online time measurement, as with many dial-up subscriptions 
(including 3G connections) you don't get a flat rate connection, it is 
either time or traffic limited (even if limitation "just" means reduction 
of speed to a very low bitrate). I know I used this feature of kppp a 
lot.
 Anyway, if there is software that duplicates most of its functionality 
and it is known to work, it can be removed. If there isn't a full 
replacement, why should we remove it?
