I upgraded one partition to potato a week ago, and whenever I try
pon, I get the following message:
bob:vc-ty1:bob>pon /usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file
/home/bob/.ppprc: Function not implemented
As shown below, my permissions are OK, and I have a full spectrum
of options files.

I had used pppconfig earlier, and re-ran it after I got these
errors, but it made no changes.
My potato partition is running ppp 2.3.6-1 and bash 2.0.36.
Since I use my slink partition for day-to-day operations, I
haven't been concerned enough to track it down. My mirror got ppp
2.3.7-2 yesterday, which I will install soon and see if that fixes the
problem.
