Further to the pppd problem (I swore I'd had enough for today, but of
course, I kept wanting to try One More Thing).
a. I have now installed the very lastest ppp from rpmfind; the same still
happens.
b. The failure occurs regardless of whether I am root or an ordinary user.
c. the options file currently contains:
lock
crtscts
defaultroute
noauth
debug
kdebug 3
d. I have a somewhat more expansive log now:

Aug 27 14:57:33 localhost pppd[928]: Connection terminated.
Aug 27 14:57:34 localhost pppd[928]: Exit.
The only thing that this suggests to me is perhaps that the "Hangup
(SIGHUP)" does _not_ mean that a SIGHUP was received, but rather that one
was sent to hang up the modem (i.e., it is an effect rather than a cause).
In either case, it still isn't at all obvious what causes the essential
failure to connect (or, perhaps, "failure to remain connected" is a better
description).
And now I well and truly am going to give up for the day. Five hours is way
too much to spend on this sort of junk on a Sunday.
