   Both of these scripts were written by my ISP to get me connected to the   
   internet via my 3G USB dongle.

   The script that I used to run as User is ppp.sh, as listed above, but I   
   now have to run it as root.

   Again my mistake, I don't have a "guest" log-in, but I was unsure if I   
   didn't enter my account's password, I thought I just got some sort of   
   "Guest" (i.e. limit permissions) user account.
