pppd's prior to Tue Nov 5 05:58:31 2002 UTC don't work with ppp(4) devices after the cloning conversion. If you upgrade it should work. As a workaround, you can do an "ifconfig ppp0 create" before running pppd. The change on the 5th was to test for ppp support by checking that the module was compiled in or loaded rather then testing for interfaces. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
