I'm not sure, but that may be a priviledge problem - try if it works
when adding the appropirate capabilities if you haven't done so yet
(I think it should be CAP_NET_ADMIN). However adding that capability
is a security issue as the guest is allowed to change too many
network settings then.
I assumes so initially as well, but since I got little out of the
system, I decided to throw CAPS at it in the hope that I could tighten
up to the express limit it required once I got it working.

Accessing these modems using "cu -l /dev/modem" works fine, but when I
try and bring up a PPP link I get the following:

could you run that through strace -fF please and
narrow the syscalls down to the relevant ones
around the ioctl(SIOCSIFDSTADDR)?
