I've tried doing that, but still nothing gets written into the file, when
pon is called. I can write into it by piping the output to the file just
fine, and then plog just shows me the right output (whatever I piped into
the file), but pon refuses to send any data into it.
Where can I look for error messages, or what else can I do to fix this,
besides reinstall, which I am not sure will be possible, since ppp is a
dep. for too many packages.?
TIA,
