The motherboard is an ASUS X58 which is about 5 years old and has two ethernet RJ45 sockets on it, disabling the first one (eth0) had no effect.
Try the other port. If that doesn't work then try another Ethernet cable. If that doesn't work try connecting another PC to the PC in question with Ethernet and see if that works, maybe the satellite device has Ethernet hardware issues.
Many thanks for the replies from both James and Russell. There's no indication in the logs that ppp is causing the issue, in fact one can see ppp shutting down the link while the system itself is shutting down. The cable now THERE"S an idea its an old second hand item and probably the first port of call, its also slightly to short and is applying some preesure to the modem.Trying another port or even one an extension card will be no issue as I have a new one spare for this job in case I needed it.
