Just upgraded to 2.2.5 kernel, and kppp stopped working. It appears that
the change in serial port naming in 2.2 kernels is the root of the
problem. I've tried running minicom, and kppp, and neither will dial the
modem. /var/log/messages gives the error message "process 1127 (kppp)
used obsolete /dev/cua0 - update software to use /dev/ttys0". I have
tried setting kppp device to use /dev/ttys0, but the errror persists.
Used RedHat modemtool to set up modem. Perhaps that is the problem? I've
searched dejanews for answers, but only found similar questions. PPP is
enabled in the kernel, using pppd-2.3.5
