[newbie] /dev/ppp problem

[robin]

Under 9.2 I could connect to the Internet on boot by adding 
"/usr/bin/wvdial" to /etc/rc.local. However, under 10.0 it won't 
connect, and /var/log/daemons/errors gives the following:

Mar 31 18:15:03 localhost pppd[4425]: Couldn't set pass-filter in 
kernel: Invalid argument
Mar 31 18:35:29 localhost pppd[3984]: pppd is unable to open the 
/dev/ppp device. You need to create the /dev/ppp device node by 
executing the following command as root: ^Imknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

Running mknod gives the error that /dev/ppp already exists, and the file 
is impossible to move or remove. Any ideas what I should do?
