pppd death upon connection



Hello list,
This is my first time using a list like this so please bear with me. I am somewhat of a newbie so the answer to
this question may be very simple.
The problem that I am having is that I cannot connect to internet via ppp. Here is some relevant information:

wvdial ouput --
after wvdial make connection...

Exiting shell, and starting PPP session.
~[7f]{#@!}!}!} }<}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } }%}&;AZ(}'}"}(}"}1}$}%b}0{~
--> PPP negotiation detected.
--> Starting pppd at Wed Oct 1 11:32:12 2003
--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 127)
--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
--> Initializing modem.
...

The /var/log/messages info may not be useful other than line about diald, which I am not actively using. The exit code = 127 (command not found?) seems odd. I may just have bad symbolic link somewhere but have
been unable to find it.

System is running 2.4.22 kernel w/ ppp support compiled into kernel. Modem is conexant hsf. The modem seems to be working fine as wvdial makes the connection and pppd is what dies.

I seem to be the only person having this problem according to all of my googling so it must be something
simple but I have not been able to find it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
andy
