I read the log. Even if I hadn't had problems in the past - which were solved by abandoning UMTSmon, I'd still call UMTSmon the problem *based* on the errors in your log. > But the problem was not beeing umtsmon > updated, but ppp updated.

Well - that's your opinion (and surely you are entitled to it) :-) It's why I/we stopped using UMTSmon and moved to Kppp. Works for us as *we* want the fixes from the updated pppd. I gave you the means to test your assumptions about UMTSmon and pppd (remove UMTSmon from the dialup process, and if you can connect the problem cannot be pppd). > > So the problem was IMO in ppp, as the only thing, which was changed, was the > ppp binary, NOT umtsmon.

I understand your reasoning (I believe it's flawed) - meanwhile the rest of the world, including users of the identical modem, are connecting without problem. As 3G/UMTS is the only means of internet I have....
