cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig Network Device Support <M> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support [ ] PPP Multilink support (EXPERMIENTAL) [ ] PPP Filtering <M> PPP support for async serial ports < > PPP support for sync tty ports <M> PPP deflate compression <M> PPP BSD-Compress compression Selecting those options and recompiling without changing any other options _should_ make ppp work. The trick is the "PPP support for async serial ports" option. Since Europe seems to be the land of the ISDN adapter, my copy of 2.4.18 came with the option for _SYNC_ ports selected, not async.
