Comment 29 for bug 469881

I uploaded and installed ubuntu 9.10 again. I removed gnome-ppp:

sudo apt-get remove gnome-ppp

I removed modem manager

sudo apt-get remove modemmanager

I re-booted.

I installed gnome-ppp

I entered my isp id/password, and selected ACM0 as the modem device, and 57000 bps as the speed.

I re-booted.

I dialed up as the super-user for gnome-ppp.

It worked:

john@john-laptop:~$ sudo gnome-ppp
