Thank you very much for this. Your revised instructions are certainly clearer than before. I followed these instructions, but when I did instruction 16 "click on Close" the window disappeared, leaving me in doubt as to how to follow instruction 17 "ensure the connection is ticked in the connections tab"
I repeated all the instructions in section 6 as far as your instruction 16, inserting a tick to the left of the Point to Point connection box immediately after doing instruction 4 "Select Point to Point connection". Neither of these gave me a connection. Could it be that the place where I went wrong was instruction 10 "Choose the modem settings you require"? Earlier on the computer had told me (in response to my typing sudo martian_modem ) that the port to use was /dev/ttySM0 but this was not one of the options offered; I chose the most similar option, /dev/ttyS0 but maybe I should have done something else ?!?
