Hi All, About a year with Linux (Slackware, Caldera) new to Debian. Just Installed 1.3.1 (bo) CD format from Linux Mall on the same hardware that used previous OSs. I saw some problems during the install as the CD image was not true to the source. dselect complained about certain directories. I logged in from another virtual console to find those and gave the path to dselect. (non-free section is completely missing) I do not think that the following problems are due to that but If so how do install just the PPP part again? Here is the problem in detail.
Serial Port/modem does not work and cannot run PPP. when I run pon the system says kernel does not support it. I rebuilt the kernel with support but same problem. I also tried Faq-O-Matic Suggestion. I do not see the file /etc/ppp.options. So I cannot put /dev/ttyS1 instead of /dev/modem in that file. I have seen that some distribution put a logical link to /dev/modem. Will that work? (My modem is on COM2 How do I generate that file? I also tried sending ATH1 to ttyS1. (echo ATH1 > /dev/ttyS1). I should hear the modem picking up the line and a dial tone. The system comes back with I/O error message. setserial says that port exists with correct address. /proc also shows the serial port. I have also tried same ATH1 command on ttyS0 and ttyS1 ports even though they do not exist, and it does not work. I have disabled on-board COM ports. I use PS/2 bus mouse (/dev/psaux). All the hardware runs OK. This is a dual boot system with LILO. (Other OS is WIN95 OSR2 it uses all the hardware.) Any help is appreciated.
