Well, in the end I did an archive and install and reverted back to 10.3... installed the adsl modem drivers and all is fine...
The problem seems to be, if drivers are installed from 10.3.2 upwards... if you DO NOT install at 10.3.1 or below the modem still "dials out and shows as connected" [with the timer showing length of time connected...]
Yet, when trying any internet app it tells me I have not established a connection...
This was proven with the archive and install... mind you, I guess most of you peeps know the score when it comes to these sort of problems with OS X... just passing on the info...
