Can't Make DSL Connection
I have put together a very basic Woody box with two nic's to become a
masquerading firewall between the DSL modem and out home network.
(Currently the computers in the home network are connected through a
Linksys router to the DSL modem.) When I attach the modem to the
firewall box, run pppoeconf and try to bring the connection up there is
a long pause and then repeated messages ppp0: error fetching interface
information. Device not found.
Syslog contains the following:
modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
Serial connection established
using channel 12
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyp0
PADS Service-Name; ''
ppp session is 24308

There is no module ppp0 - I have poured over kernel options in
/usr/src/linux/ make menuconfig and am unable to find anything which I
have omitted which looks likely to create such a module (the kernel I
have compiled is 2.4.18). Likewise, there is no /dev/ttyp0.
Could someone please point out where I have messed up this time?
