Thanks, I'll check my versions of what I'm running. The problem with my net
connection is that alcatel have only released drivers for the modem, and
someone has written a HOWTO on getting them running. This involves editing
the /etc/ppp/options file with all the required parameters and then
basically typing pppd to launch. This is when it fails :-(

Probably you just have an old verion of the hotplug scripts,
or don't have "/sbin/ifup" in your distro. Don't worry; there's
nothing the hotplug code can do for ppp anyway, since
those interfaces are initialized curiously. (Nobody does
an "ifconfig ppp0 up".)
