I looked through my old instructions for installing the Speedtouch modem under Dapper but it doesn't mention PPPD. I suppose it could have been installed automatically though, without me realising anything.
You seem to be right about the version though. I only have one PPPD executable in /usr/sbin. It's dated 10th July 2006 which usually means it came with Dapper. I asked on the Ubuntu forum to see if there's a newer version but nobody responded. This might be significant though.... inside the folder /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/ I found a file called pppoatm.so. I renamed it to rp-pppoatm.so and after that I seem to be getting slightly further. My pppd log file entries now read as follows:- pppd[4890]: Plugin rp-pppoatm.so loaded kernel: [17179659.832000] NET: Registered protocol family 10 kernel: [17179659.832000] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions kernel: [17179659.832000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready kernel: [17179659.832000] IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver pppd[4890]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 pppd[4890]: connect(0.38): No such device pppd[4890]: Exit 0 and 38 are the VP and VC numbers that I was given for the UK. They worked with Dapper so I assume they won't have changed.
