Hi Alexander,

Sorry, I can't test this anymore, since I'm now in a different country.

But I should have reported:

After I had edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain nothing but:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I then next time I was where I need the dialup just copied back the
backup I had made of /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

I was then able without problems to connect to the dialup from the
commandline with

pon dsl-provider

Nothing got written to  /etc/network/interfaces, which still contains
only the two lines quoted above.

Network-manager did not offer an entry for the dialup (which I don't
need; I just used the CLI) and it had no problem managing the eth0
interface as such.
