There is also about a minute between the "Starting pppd" message and the display of local, remote and DNS IP addresses. In fact the connection actually dies out completely after a while, but there is no error reported whatsoever. I read somewhere that shutting down eth0 interface or close the browser might help. I have done both without noticeable difference. BTW I have always been using COUNTRY ITALY (aka 59). Also I always init modem with ATX3, which I think is still mandatory here. Since you confirm I'll try ASAP the trick with the scripts from sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5ubuntu4_i386.deb and binaries from slmodem-2.9.11-20080417 and Ubuntu 7.10.
