Jubilation! She loves me again! I fall on the floor and I'm laughing! So I am not stoopid, just ignorant.
Removed eth0 gateway (thank you both Davids). Now have access + many, many pages of man pppd :-) and learned something of what I knew NOTHING --networks. (and a kppp .deb I do not need now) I am really (REALLY!) grateful for all advice, even that which was not immediately applicable taught me much .. now I need to find out why the stoopid thing drops back (out of X11?) to gdm/kdm logon screen after x minutes of blanked screen ..:-) as a stop gap, can I setup a fake keyboard input every minute or so?
