Fw: PPP is HOAXED!

To all who receive this,

I have a big problem. I have a dialup account to usonet.ne.jp and my stuff
won't work after I've installed kernel 2.2.6. I'm pretty sure it's the
kernel but the worse part is when I boot into kernel 2.0.36 stuff still
doesn't work! I don't know what to do now because I've tried everything I
know..
This is Debian 2.1 and I really need help. I don't know what's going on. I
can't send or receive anything on my modem and if it helps, I don't have a
/dev/ppp anything. I have an externel modem and the SD or RD (send data and
receieve data) lights don't blink @ all. I can connect to the net fine, my
ppp script is fine (I think) because It worked right before I installed the
new kernel but once I'm logged in, nothing works! I don't know what else
to do. All my other system configuration stuff is the same as it was. I am
willing to re-install if that will help, but I think it's not working
because of the new kernel compilation. I have not installed the kernel 2.2
updates from debian.org because I can't get them off the net because ppp
shows the same error with default kernel. If you can't help please forward
this to anyone you may know who you think may be able to help. If you need
more information please do not hesitate to relpy.
