Well, I checked everything... including making sure I did not have the
winmodem inadvertently installed. I also corrected the nameserver entries,
although this should not prevent me from getting a dialtone

The chatlog given below is accurate and only omits "pppd[484]: pppd 2.3.5
started by root uid0" and ends with "pppd[484]: Exit."

I then went in and ran pppconfig (again) followed by pon

This is what the chatlog showed:

Aug 2 14:07:58 debian pppd[258]: pppdd 2.3.5 started by root, uid0
                                   chat[259]: abort on (BUSY)
                                   chat[259]: abort on (NO CARRIER)
                                   chat[259]: abort on (VOICE)
                                   chat[259]: abort on (NO DIALTONE)
                                   chat[259]: abort on (NO ANSWER)
                                   chat[259]: send (ATZ^M)
                                   chat[259]: expect (OK)
                                   chat[259]: alarm
                                   pppd[258]: Connect script failed
                                   chat[259]: failed
                                   pppd[258]: Exit

As I recalled, when I first installed debian last year I used pppconfig and
then pon (but with the wrong nameservers) and got dialtone and some dialog
before the server disconnected, but now... no dialtone, no chance for MSN to
even kick me off!
