Thanks, Nathan. 

I ran pppsetup. When I run modem lights it tries to run pppon, and I still get 
the error message:
"Failed to execute child process. No such file or directory.

Is "pppon" what it should run? I think my file is "ppp-on". I changed it in 
modem lights but still get the error message. Do I need to put in an entire 
path? If I do, I'm confused, because it seems the pon, ppp-on, ppp-go, etc. 
files are in all sorts of different places and I don't know which ones to 
use.
