getting the modem to work.... and PPPD

["Tj Johnston, N4UYQ" <tjohnsto@erols.com>]

Attempting to get PPP dialup working so that I can use FTP to install
additional packages.. I've set up for ppp_on_boot.

The following error was received:

/dev/modem: unrecognized command

I assume the system is attempting to run pppd with /dev/modem as the
communications device... unfortunately it appears that /dev/modem has not
been defined... How do I define it? also I was playing a little, and ran
pppd with /dev/ttys1 and received this error also:

Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support

According to DSELECT... PPP has been installed. what gives?
