Gary, Everything is apparently ok. Instead of trying out GnomePPP, why not use directly wvdial. It should find the modem port /dev/ttySL0 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem. Edit username, password and phone number to dial, add a line "Carrier Check = no" to this file and try to connect using the command line wvdial. What messages do you see? If you can get a solid connection, then you may then alter your Gnome-ppp and connect using it, but first use the old tried and true wvdial.
