It's just done it again...
$ /sbin/ifup ppp0
domainname: you must be root to change the domain name
Users cannot control this device
So I used Netconf to say users can.
$ /sbin/ifup ppp0 now doesn't give the (Users can't) error, but the
modem ( external USR 56K message modem on ttyS0 ) says "beep boop" and stops.
When I ^C to abort, I get "Failed to activate ppp0 with error 32" message.
I've copied 7.2's network-scripts over _AGAIN_ to get it working, except for
the "domainname: you must be root to change the domain name" message.
This is getting very irritating now.
