 pppoa is easier because you don't need br2684ctl to create the nas0 
 interface. Go with pppoa

He may not have the choice.  He needs to ask his ISP whether it
uses PPPoA (ppp over ATM) or PPPoE (ppp over ethernet) or something
else.

You are online!  What happens if you do:

ping 68.142.226.54

?
 
 Modem lights still blinking continuously red on boot.

And after booting?

Ciao,

 Just out of curiosity, the file to configure etc/ppp/peers/speedtch had 6
commented lines to disable compression.
 Would uncommenting them have changed anything?

It would have suppressed this

sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 compress VJ 0f 01 addr 0.0.0.0 ms-dns1

Your side ask for deflate and compress and this is rejected from the server
side (ProtRej and ConfRej)

Just to clarify: it wouldn't make any difference to whether you get
connected or not.

 1 I'm afraid the significance of the reference to br2684 etc is over my head. 

br2684 is only needed if you want to do pppoe over atm bridging. If you 
have the option to just use ppp over atm, it's simpler to just do that.

 2 pppoe vs pppoa.  The linux-usb page already mentioned provides a table 
 which indicates that either applies to the UK.  Once again I do not 
 understand the significance here.  Any advice would be appreciated.

pppoa is easier because you don't need br2684ctl to create the nas0 
interface. Go with pppoa

 3 The modem is off-white, model number appears to be AS-8144B.

most grey modems are revision 4

 4 Output from ls -l /lib/firmware is:
 -rw-r--r--  1 root root935 2006-05-03 21:23 speedtch-1.bin
 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 775545 2006-05-03 21:23 speedtch-2.bin

This looks like the right firmware for a rev 4 modem. You already posted 
that the udev finds the firmware so it looks like your troubles are just 
running pppd. Try using pppoa

 Many thanks for the continuing advice.
 
 I have worked through the linux-usb.org documentation again using details for 
 pppoa.
 I am reasonably confident that the files chap-secrets, speedtch and 
 bootscript are correct.

Cool

 The output from the command 'pppd call speedtch debug' follows:
 
 local IP address 84.69.1.48
 remote IP address 62.25.198.171
 primary DNS address 195.92.195.95
 secondary DNS address 195.92.195.94

This looks good. It means you're online...

 Modem lights still blinking continuously red on boot.

This I don't understand at all.

Do you need br2684? It's easier to do pppoa

This all looks good. So why didn't the firmware load...did you copy 
speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin to /lib/firmware? What does ls -l 
/lib/firmware give?

ls -l /lib/firmware
