You might want to get the latest version of pppd, which is (i believe) 2.3.10. The source (and some binaries) is available here: ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/  In /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf, if you've upgraded to the new modutils) add these two lines: alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias char-major-108 ppp_generic Now, you need to create a device /dev/ppp w/ major 108, minor 0 mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 ...and you should be set. ---- Mark Orr markorr@intersurf.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
