Frankie, what is the problem exactly? Are you getting "No PPP support in the kernel" messages? If so the real problem is that the user is not in the dialout (or is it dip) group (who should own the tty device) or the permisssions some how go messed up. Here are mine: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS2
