Hi Andrew, I did what you suggested but the situation remains the same: the pppd cannot start the link. Please, find below my comments. Could this be something related to authentication failure by my ISP?

Yes, I learned that simple renaming of the ifcfg-ppp0 file does not work: I had to move the file. This also resolved another situation which I didn't report before: The boot process hanged when the network interfaces were being brought up, namely the ppp0, when the speedtouch modem was not connected to the USB port. > As root use this > command to setup the bridging connection > > /usr/sbin/br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a VP.VC (change VP.VC for the values for > your country/ISP) > Ok.
