Re: Slink -> Potato: Problem with ppp/chat/pcmcia/modem?
Thanks for the reply John. Below are details from my log files.
pointers to what I should be reading or exploring further are most
welcome.

These are the messages I get:

========================================================================
Below is a successful connection when I had slink installed a few days
ago, followed by its termination. During this particular session I
downloaded and installed potato and then tried to reconnect.

The following is from syslog for my current boot up. Some odd things
are:
The kernel ppp version is 2.3.7, but pppd is 2.3.10. Will
this cause a problem? Previously I was using pppd version
2.3.5 (from slink).
I don't know why I get the message about modprobe not being
able to find module char-major-108?
