I have done this. I have checked that indeed my modem is on COM2, and so
therefore, I set pppconfig to /dev/ttys1. However, I anm now getting the
following error (...and I dont have the foggiest notion why I am getting
it ) :
"/usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be
because
the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or because the kernel is
not configured for PPP. See the README.linux file in the
ppp-2.3.5 distribution."
Has anyone else had this sort of error before ?
