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?

Tony
