You didn't use 'make config' or 'make xconfig'? When you recompiled the kernel did you make modules and modules-install? You know, the PPP module depends on others (can't think of them offhand). > 2.

And that is all )-; If mgetty is respawning, something larger than ppp is probably wrong-- it would never have a chance to take a login? Perhaps something you did to the config is causing this. Did you change the config file? Did you look in /var/log/mgetty/* for error messages? > > Hope that someone can help me to overcome this. I'll try. I use mgetty/ppp all the time. Never compiled mgetty myself. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
