Did you, by any chance, install the Debian CD that came with McCarty's
book? I wonder because I did, and I get the same error when I run pon.
This happened with two installs, first with the Dialup (!) package and
secondly with a manual selection of stuff.  I've decided to blame the
CD, since gobs of gurus have been unable to get me online with Debian.

A suggestion to recompile the kernel before you can get online with a
distribution seems extreme, if you don't mind my saying so.  I'm
planning to get Debian from another source and try it.
