good should work.... and if not... i would stupidly check the kernel
either have PPP enable in the kernel or the modules loaded
grep -i ppp /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PPP=y ( compiled into the kernel )
-- or --
CONFIG_PPP=m ( modules )
if modules than be sure to have the modules loaded in order...
ppp_server# lsmod
Sequence Module Description
1 slhc.o VJ header compression
2 ppp.o PPP driver
3 bsd_comp.o BSD compression for PPP's compression protocol.
#
# if using Modules - add these
#
/etc/conf.modules
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
have fun
alvin
#
# i have a mess of random things to look at...
