Done this! Couldn't find an error (don't really know what I'm looking for
though). Still not able to access any webpages while connected. Here
is the output to /var/log/ppplog after an attempt by root:

and it output the following (into ppplog) after I tried as a normal user. 
Note that
I now had the "noauth" option in /etc/ppp/options

What I've seen /dev/ppp exists alright.

>Note also the line
>"Error opening resolv.conf"
>Have you checked that /etc/resolv.conf is readable by all?
>That it even exists?

Yep. It's a link to some other file. I think that is readable by all...

Thanks alot for all your help so far!
