Thanks for the ideas people, I finally got it going last night. It was my fault all along (looks embarrassed) I had the BIOS set to "CardBus blah blah" instead of the "PIC" thing, it even tells you that in the PCMCIA HOWTO and I thought I had changed it but apparently not cos as soon as I changed it both ethernet card and modem (a separate IBM V.34 pcmcia card) "appeared". I downloaded and installed the latest version of the pcmcia card services stuff anyway. While I was at it I recompiled the kernel to remove SCSI and assorted stuff I don't have on the machine and the new kernel would panic and hang whereas the original corel default one would boot ok just the pcmcia cards weren't working. (note: remember not to make ext2 filesystems a module!) I'm still working out where corel/debian put everything though but I much prefer the rc.d setup (SYSV is it?) probably cos it's the same as solaris. There is no messages file, it all goes into subdirectories under /var/log/[kern|ppp|and so on]. Then a separate file for info, notice, err, etc - way too many log files but I'll get round to changing that some time. While I'm here, kppp - where does it store it's config files? not in /etc/ppp. I was trying to use it to setup a login script to my ISP but can't get the hang of how to use the dialog box. The "help" info doesn't really help! come to think of it I didn't try "man kppp"...
