if you cannot run pon/poff as root, add yourself to the dip group, and group dialout if necessary. haven't used ppp in ages to be honest. man 1 adduser If you were looking for a ppp module it would be called ppp.o not ppp.0 or ppp.O, and it would be under /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/... this is only an issue if ppp support is not built into your kernel, you can insmod it e.g. insmod /path/to/module.o modprobe is easier though. e.g. modprobe module_name * this does not include .o so modprobe ppp, not modprobe ppp.o if modprobe can't find it, try running depmod -a - brian. -- +------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Russo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG ID: 54D81666 | 404E 87E8 DD0C 275B 742B 09AD 2243 839C 54D8 1666
