I've been toying around with the LRP "distribution" of Linux,
http://www.linuxrouter.org, and can't seem to get the blasted
modem to work. The default ppp device in the distro is
/dev/ttyS1, which didn't work at all. So on a whim I mknod'd a
new device /dev/cua1 and used the same major & minor numbers that
work on my system now (are jump tables the same from kernel to
kernel?). Anyway, I tried the connection again, and actually got
back the message that "PPP support is not compiled in this kernel".
No, it wasn't directly compiled in, but an lsmod showed that in
fact the ppp.o (and the slhc.o) module was loaded up.
The kernel is 2.0.36 and ppp is 2.2.0(f?).
Unfortunately, the range of tools available on a 1.44MB diskette is
desperately slim, and I can't mount my HD 'cause ext2fs isn't compiled
in the kernel for space reasons.
Any guesses/suggestions? I'm going to try to build a new kernel and
toss it on the disk, but I'm not sure if that is going to work.
Cheers,
Robert Kennedy
