Greetings all As per the PPP howto: I dial with minicom, connect to my ISP and get the login and password prompts. I enter them and get the menu to start protocols. I choose PPP, and the appropriate garbage starts. I then exit minicom without reset, and type pppd. It then says: "This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or because the kernel is not configured for PPP. See the readme.linux file in the ppp-2.3.5 distribution". I know that I compiled in PPP support, but just in case I didn't, I rebooted with the original kernel (which Red Hat says has PPP support). Same result. Anyone got any ideas?
