$ /sbin/ifup ppp0
Users cannot control this device

So I used Netconf to say users can.
$ /sbin/ifup ppp0       now doesn't give that error, but the modem ( external USR 
56K message modem on ttyS0 ) says "beep boop" and stops.

In latest cooker, "# /sbin/ifup ppp0" as root works, but not in 8.0.

kppp works...
[13:52 peter@penguin:~]$ kppp
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.

... but it works.

Please can you fix this - I have scripts that use /sbin/ifup ppp0 and 
/sbin/ifdown and they don't work.
