The first thing to try (which doesn't actually require any changes to be made) is to ignore the Mandrakesoft stuff which, in my experience, doesn't quite fit together. Try: su <password> modem_run -m -f /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o pppd call adsl and, hopefully, after about 20 seconds you should be connected.
