Well, after peering through many files and scripts and a whole lot of
things, I have FINALY! discovered the problem and rectified it.
The Situation (for the record):
Using pppoeconf to configure my DSL pppoe connection and asking it to
connect at boot-up, it was creating two connections: PPP0 (the right
one) and PPP1 (an extra, un-wanted, heretical and hethenous one). In
lieu of giving
# ifconfig ppp1 down
every time and having to wait the extra seconds at boot-up, I managed
to find some thing: ppp-on-boot.dsl and the link file ppp-on-boot.
After deleting these two files, and configuring the
/etc/network/interfaces (which had actually already been done...
odd....) my internet is alive, well and single.
Thanks to the Debian Community for another solved problem.
