Thanks Gilles, That did the trick my Speedtouch is now working fine and I have a good working connection.
I do have one other question, I'm not an experienced UNIX/Linux user but it strikes me that calling pppd from root exposes potential security issues?. Can you recommend a good firewall and virus protection package?. Thanks.

You mismatch 1.eni wich is the very small bootloader file and 2.eni wich is the big firmware file. It should work with modem_run -v 1 -t 90 -n 4 -a /home/mhuggins/bin/ZZZLP1.eni - f /home/mhuggins/bin/ZZZLP2.eni if those files are so named.
