I'm beginning to think you've got some weird kernel running, what with your reporting of 2.0.38 under debian 2.2r3, and with this ppp issue. When you configured the system, did you include ppp (in the net section) as a module? Is it in /etc/modules? If not, try including it.
Also, just to verify: what's the output of uname -a? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Asst Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Sat, 2 Jun 2001, Sidney Brooks wrote: > Answer to questions by Kent West. > > The printer does not work.
