    I'm running 2.6.11 kernel so that implies just download the relevant file
    (speedtouch-firmware_0.3012k_all.deb). I then did a 'dpkg -i' on this (is
    that all I need to do?!??!), set up peers/demon based on above and amended
    pap_secrets to end:

    -- begin snippet --
    # OUTBOUND connections

    # Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
    # PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
    # to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
    # replace password with your password.
    # If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
    # remove the following line.

    (none) * password

    michael * [demon password]
    -- end snippet --

    (couldn't see what to change in chap_secrets and I understand that ppp
    (with 2.6.11) knows about pppoa so nothing to do there. not sure how ppp
    knows to look up /etc/ppp/peers/demon thou....

    so needless to say i may be closer but i ain't there yet!

    cheers, michael
