Therein doth lay the "kernel" of the problem (ha ha). but you should provide more detailed errors of problems ! is it detected at boot ? what does ifconfig says ? what have you in /proc/interrupts ? etc... did you define the exact same options when compiling 2.0.34 and 2.0.36 ? >> > - And I lose PPP too!! >> what do you mean by that ? > I mean that: I 'pon office', the dial goes out, modems handshake, carrier > is detected and established.

Oh, an no eth0 interface either, just one lo interface. ok but still you have to give more details what do you have in ppp logs ? (/var/log/ppp.log) and after pon you could type plog -f to see all logs as they are coming during your connection please send at least the last few lines, so that we may find. i'm not a ppp expert, but without the exact error message, i think nobody will find > >> IMHO, magicfilter is the way to go >> install it, and with a set of questions everything should be ok. > I'm pretty sure I installed it; what are these questions of which you > speak? did you do magicfilterconfig ? (from memory) it should you ask which type of printer you have and if you have one recognized it set up all filters and you're ready to print. you need of course to install either lprng or lpr. > Would there be a complete-and-total-idiot-god-i-hate-myself step-by-step > guide to magicfilter anywhere? probably /usr/doc/magicfilter/* and man magicfilter man magicfilterconfig >> > "Apache... failed" again.

Thank you very much for the hints. no problem. give us more details of your problems (extract of log files, etc...) and that would help everyone helping you. Patrick
