Correct, the GENERIC kernel doesn't have support for pppd. However, there is a user-mode ppp program (called 'ppp') which is supported by the gerenic kernel. Try 'man ppp' - that will get you started. The user-mode ppp is a neat program, it includes all of the dial-up facilities and supports dial-on-demand. > so i started looking around for sys.tar.gz to recompile to get ppp. You mean a kernel re-build, I take it. For this you need the 'ssys.aa - an' files. These are cat - ed together to make ssys.tgz by the installer. > > I can't find that sys.tar.gz..is there a kernel with ppp enabled around? > is there a sys.tar.gz around to ftp?? or do i need to get all the files?? > > Hope there's someone around to help..it's sunday and tomorrow i've got to > go to work again..so i'd like to get it up&running today!
