Hi All,
Wanting to use my 56k Internal Hardware PCI Modem I eagerly awaited kernel-2.4, and was probably one of the first to grab it from kernel.org in the early morning of Jan 6th. I then spent some time finding and installing the necessary support stuff - especially ppp-2.4. Now having built the kernel, installed the necessary other stuff etc my ppp refuses to work
When I played with pppd in 2.4 I had some problems with it not being able to "set line discipline". Basically, I think that pppd could not swap it's connection to /dev/ttySx to a pty once dialling up. Maybe? Anyway, I solved the problem by actually loading the right modules, modprobe ppp_async modprobe ppp_synctty modprobe ppp_generic Worked for me. -- ___ ___ (o o) "Calm down Earl.
