Ack! <sigh> I wonder why purging diald started it off not working - how intriguing. Do you know of any work-arounds? Will a different version of pppd work? I do hope I don't have to change my kernel... (having never done such a thing before, as I've never run Debian on a particular system long enough for one to get badly out of date) If I have to change my kernel version, can anyone suggest the easiest and most painless way? I guess I'll have to make a new bootdisk, too. Hmm... off to find a debian-bugs archive, in case anything handy's there, though I didn't notice anything about this last time I looked. -- Mark (most of whose experience is still to come, it seems) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
