Unfourtunately I don't think that will allow me to use command line non-user specific dial up connection control. I will have a go though and see what happens.
the problem is that /sbin/ifup ppp0 does not work - even under root. The modem light flashes briefly and then the command stalls. It has happened with Mandrake before and I wonder if this is a Mandrake specific problem to use command line / non user specific (generic?) dial up control. Only KPPP seems to work.
