Mark's right when he says I missed this error message.  See below.

This is from /var/log/daemons/errors

 Dec  1 20:54:42 localhost pppd[2839]: Connect script failed
 Dec  1 21:46:45 localhost pppd[3017]: Connect script failed

Curiously there is no sign of an error at Dec  2 17:09 when the other errors
from /var/log/messages were logged.

I just followed the recommended intstall.  So it's all straight out of the
box!

I think I'll try wvdial.  But I suspect I'll simply be starting another
fruitless task.

Thankfully most ISP's use PAP, so try that.

Haven't a clue, nor do I know how to find out!  gnome-ppp is set to PAP by
default it seems.
