Don't I feel like a dunce. Upon inspecting the output of 'plog' like John asked for, I noticed the error message that pppd could not open /dev/modem. Now because this machine I am making the kernel image for has no user interaction (keyboard controller chip busted), I left out serial device support. So after kicking myself all morning, I compiled in serial support for the modem, and all is fine. *sigh* Thanx for the help John. -- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED]
