Paul,
did you change anything to make this problem occur? or is this a new
installation and the first time you have configured PPP ?

If the latter is the case the I suggest you double check that PPP is configured
in your kernel: /proc/net/dev should mention ppp[0-3], and you should see some
messages relating to PPP when you boot. If your kernel supports PPP then the
error suggests some incompatability between the PPP and your kernel. In this
instance I'd suggest grabbing ppp2-2.1.2b from sunsite.unc.edu and using it
at the Linux end. I'm not sure precisely what version you are running, but it
may not be recent enough.

If you're stuck then I'll help if I can.

Terry
