Someone else mentioned in a similar thread a earlier this week that this message doesn't necessarily mean that the kernel does not support ppp; that it could be simply to a misconfiguration, etc of your dial-up settings. But then again, since it (apparently) was working before the recompile, you're probably right to think it's a problem in the kernel settings. You might try using insmod as Dennis said earlier today on the previous post, per below: > Your kernel does not currently support PPP.
