Re: Woody kernel 2.4.18-686; ppp & scsi won't work.
I'm having this same problem with ppp. I can get the modem to pick up
and dial but that's it.
Everything works fine on 2.2 kernels and it worked
back in potato with lower than 2.4.5 kernels. I should say it worked with
2.4.3 and 2.4.5 but not with 2.4.9 and above. That was using the Bunk
kernels and at that time the modem wouldn't even pick up the phone.
So if someone responded please post to the list also as Barry isn't the
only one with the problem.
