Hello, I didn't manage to get connected with gnome-ppp, because of 2 problems:
1. There seems to be no possibility to use pap without setting 'noauth' in the /etc/ppp/options file -- I cite from this file's comments: # Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in # future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable # authentication for specific peers. auth It was impossible to me to connect without changing this to noauth 2. After having done that, the connection failed with the error message (in the syslog): May 27 19:58:44 wabe pppd[1468]: pppd 2.3.7 started by joachim, uid 1000 May 27 19:58:44 wabe pppd[1468]: Failed to open /dev/modem: Permission denied May 27 19:58:44 wabe pppd[1468]: Exit.

Hoping for help, joachim
