The smalllinux kernel probably doesn't support the newer tty/pty pair
device nodes, which were added in linux-1.4. You can probably add the old
ones with mknod and then ile will work. I think this was changed in
1.7.119, see the changelog. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt
for an explanation, basically you need to remove the block 2,0... devices
and add the block 4,128... devices. Again, the tools to fix it (rm and
mknod) are on tomsrtbt

(As noted in the FAQ) you need at least 10 MB of space, and unpack.s takes
the _SOURCE_ as an argument, so you would use "unpack.s tomsrtbt.raw" _or_
"unpack.s /dev/fd0u1722". Either will work. You have to be logged to a
linux directory with at least 10MB free, so you can't do it in the
tomsrtbt /tmp area...

Of course, SLIP is included with tomsrtbt and supported, but I know that
most providers don't provide it anymore. I have never tried to run PPP
from tomsrtbt, I see it as something that falls outside the target uses
for tomsrtbt. Please post anything that helps and an explanation of what
was wrong when you fix it, though, so other users who are searching the
list archives can benefit.
