PPP Problem: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline
I've been battling for a while to get my dialup ISP to work with debian,
to no avail. I've reached an impasse at this point and need some more
help.
When I use KPPP to connect to my ISP I get the error:
"Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument"
Here is the output of pppd:

I think it may be related to the lines
(none):remotepeername
# 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
in the file /etc/ppp/options.ttyS2. This is because when I change it I
get a slightly different error.
Anyway, thank you for your help, in advance.
Sincerely,
Denver Coneybeare
