Got this problem at least partially solved. Do indeed have a blasted
winmodem on the machine. While http://linmodems.org seems to have a link
to a suitable driver I can't get hold of it. BUT I did manage to get a
Maxtech PCMICA modem working just great. The only problem with it left
is that I get denied permission to pppd unless I'm logged in as root. I
added usernames under advanced options in pppconfig, and they're
certainly sitting in the appropriate place in the file vigr, so what's
missing?
