OK.. I'd tried to setuid pppd so had wondered if it was just permissions. 

Now have pppd apparently starting correctly but am now getting:

Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Plugin zaptel.so loaded.
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Zaptel Plugin Initialized
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Using zaptel device 'stdin' 
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Zaptel device is 'stdin' 
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Device 'stdin' does not appear to be a zaptel device 
Jan  4 16:07:15 asterisk pppd[29485]: Exit.


..which is probably just because I'm doing something stupid (I've never touched PPP on linux and am still figuring asterisk out..)

I'd tried initiating a call using:
originate ZAP/g0d/0xxxxxx application ZapRas xx|xx|xx...

Will this work?

I'm looking to periodically nudge Asterisk into making an ISDN connection, setting up PPP and then (possibly by then starting an AGI script) grabbing a file by FTP over the PPP link.

If I'm overcomplicating it or going about it completely the wrong way, a point in the right direction would be nice :)
