[Running ppp at 115k baud is fine for what I need > it for and saves me a pile of ethernet cards!]. A) It's hardly too much to suggest that you use a custom kernel for testing.. :-) B) You can still use the /usr/bin/ppp program to establish your ppp links, and probably with less effort once you have an /etc/ppp/options file all tricked out. So don't say that "we don't support PPP in the GENERIC kernel", we do! Just in a different way.. C) For hard-wired lines where ppp is overkill, there's still SLIP. Jordan
