I installed the PPPoE client (PPP over ethernet, which is the stupid thing my ADSL provider).  I started the pppd and had the following error message in the /var/log/messages file: Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108 Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: pppd 2.3.9 started by root, uid 0 Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: Using interface ppp0 Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1  (Note: sometime it is /dev/pts/0 or /dev/pts/2) Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: write: warning: Input/output error (5) Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: Modem hangup Oct  2 01:30:35 mandrake pppd[887]: Connection terminated. Could someone also tell me what is device is /dev/pts and char-major-108?
