|Subject: demand Dialing
|
|Hello,
|I use Red hat 5.1 with kernel 2.0.34 and ppp 2.3.3 but any time I try to
|implement demand dialing, it says:
|
|'demand dialing not supported by kernel driver version 2.2.0'
|

Yes, the kernel PPP driver version isn't directly related to the pppd
version. The 2.2.0 kernel driver comes with 2.0.x kernels and each pppd
package come with it's own version. The installation of the package has a
step called "make kernel" which tries to update the kernel driver by
replacing it with the one from the ppp package.
Note the wording "tries to update". There were problems with this in
ppp-2.3.4 and ppp-2.3.5 as well as a kernel versioning bug in the code. To
get demand dialing you should get ppp-2.3.7 at
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/
