      Thanks very much Kent. Adding dip fixed the greyed out `DNS Auto
    Configuration` button. Now I'm getting `Exit Status 2: using the noauth
    option requires root privilege`. Or, `You don't have sufficient permission
    to run /usr/sbin/pppd.` Similar answer from pon.
      I've fiddled with the privileges of some of the files and probably screwed
    things up :-(. I haven't learnt about permissions yet.
