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.
Regards,
Antonio
