Thanks Duncan - bear with me here because I'm not very familiar with Linux!
Firstly, if modem_run is no longer needed, can I uninstall it? Secondly, the only lines I can see relating to pppd are these:- pppd[5711]: /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/rp-pppoatm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory pppd[5711]: Couldn't load plugin rp-pppoatm.so Just to give you a bit more information - I've tried two protocols (PPPoATM and PPPoE) but neither of them worked. I'm currently set up for PPPoATM.
