Deven, making a backup of my old one. I tried the new kernel, and now when I run PPPD, I get an error saying it can't open /dev/modem OR /dev/ttyS14 (my modem). Does it work when you are root? If so, you may need to add yourself to some groups like dialout and dip. Look to see what group owns /dev/ttyS14 and add yourself to that group. If you look at the permissions carefully you'll see that the device is rw to the user and group, but there are no permissions for everyone else. Chris -- Christopher S.

Check for /var/lock/LCK..modem, or /var/lock/LCK..ttyS14 and delete.
