Whoopsie!!! After I removed the modem manager, I neglected to re-start the computer. My bad. I have known for some time, that installing (or removing) software requires a re-start.
When I did re-start, gnome-ppp worked fine, as below: j...@john-laptop:~$ sudo gnome-ppp [sudo] password for john: Sorry, try again.
