Re: Newbie Install - Serial port and PPP does not work
Non-free can not be on a CD, that is the point of it being called
"non-free". As to your problem here goes (I help maintain the
FAQ-o-matic).
COM2 is /dev/ttyS1. You can make a /dev/modem w/ "ln -s ttyS1 modem".
While in the dev directory. The "No PPP support in kernel" is caused by
it trying to dial on COM1, which is wrong, so it then tries
/dev/console. There is no ppp support for /dev/console as a modem.
hence it fails with that great error message. You need to initially run
ppp by hand. And the ppp.options file is in /etc/ppp.
