Thanks, Mike, for this quick reply.
I'll give these aliases a try in a day or so. I have to say, though, that
I'm not that hopeful - I usually try to configure ppp support in to the
kernel, rather than using modules. When the connection has been made, kppp
tries to negotiate a protocol, then fails and tells me that the kernel
does not support ppp.
I had similar messages on my laptop (2.2.14) which I eventually tracked
down to having to configure options in 2 separate places in the config,
I'd done one and not the other. This is why I suspect I'm missing
something obvious in the config.
On the other hand, 2.4.2 won't build the msdos/fat/vfat code for me if it
is configured as built-in, but these work fine as modules, so I'll give
modules a try.
Will let you know.
