IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!!
Sorry.... Got carried away.... <grin>
Thanks for all of your help, Philippe.
At first, the login failed, but once I increased the timeout for the login
sequence from 5 seconds to 15, everything fell into place.
Although things work, I do have some strange messages appearing in
/var/log/messages. Although things seem to be working okay, I think
they're probably something that should be looked into. Can you "shed any
light" on this?
I've inserted comments below:

So, I'm quite happy in that things are working; however, I feel I should be
concerned about the "PPP network layer died, but link did not. Probable
configuration error." messages and how the sequence repeats 3 or 4
times....
Any ideas?
