That didn't work for me.

I couldn't figure out how to do that.

My modem is an external USR Courier V.Everything that works fine in
Corel Linux, Win NT, and Win 98.
At John Hasler's suggestion, I ran plog, and it said, "This system lacks
kernel support for ppp."
I hope you won't get mad at me for saying this, but I'm trying to
accomplish the same thing, so far unsuccessfully, in Mandrake 6.1. I'm
getting the same basic error messages: kernel has no ppp support. What
makes it interesting in Mandrake is that last night I reinstalled with
the "Install Everything" option, some 1600M of stuff. When Mandrake
boots, there are a lot of messages about wrong kernel version, which
leads me to a more fundamental question that I think I'll put in a
separate thread in case the right person is skipping this one: can one
distribution interfere with another?
