This message will be going out over a PPP link established using the latest PPP and diald packages avalible to me: ii ppp 2.3.9-1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon. ii diald 0.98.2-0.1 dial on demand daemon for PPP and SLIP. which operated just fine before, during and after the install (last night for ppp IIRC). What exactly is going wrong? Which kernel version are you using (I've got 2.2.10 here)? Do things like telling diald to bring the link up manually achieve anything? > Is there an easy way to go back to my prior version of ppp and ppp-pam? > (using apt-get).

If you haven't been running "apt-get clean" much you may still have a previous version of pppd kicking around in /var/cache/apt/archives. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
