The 'P-t-P:1.1.1.1' bit certainly looks strange to me... shouldn't that
be the IP of you ISP?

While I know that I should be using real-man-method of pon/poff, I'm
using 'wvdial' ever since I can remember and it works fine. I seemed to
remember that it was not totally free, but checking - it is in main -
eases my conscience. You could try it, it is extremely easy to set up,
just edit /etc/wvdial.conf.
