This can only happen if you've got a ``set speed sync'' in your configuration and aren't using a tty AFAICT. Ppp assumes that synchronous devices are ttys. This is mainly because the synchronous code in ppp is horribly broken, and will most likely remain that way 'till phk sends me those sync cards he promised to send me ;-) > Apr 17 11:46:36 ppp ppp[259]: Phase: ioctl error (Inappropriate ioctl for device)! > **********************WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
