Newcomers to PPP should 1st read
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO.html
Also do:
setserial -agv /dev/ttyS*
To get diagnostic info like:
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_lockout
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
Flags: spd_normal skip_test
/dev/ttyS3, Line 3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinite
You want to choose a port ( /dev/ttyS?) which has a UART: 16550A or
16550
for the PPP protocol.
Do:
cat /proc/interrupts
to get diagnostic info on your interrupt usage:
0: 1824264 timer
1: 5137 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
3: 78609 + serial
4: 159709 + serial
7: 2 i82365
8: 2 + rtc
13: 1 math error
14: 13410 + ide0
15: 23 + ide1
