Frankie, what is the problem exactly? Are you getting "No PPP support in the
kernel" messages? If so the real problem is that the user is not in the
dialout (or is it dip) group (who should own the tty device) or the permisssions
some how go messed up. Here are mine:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jul 20 1998 /dev/ttyS2
