Sigh. This is a frustrated vent, so feel free to move on...
Just did the apt-get upgrade from slink to potato. 1. The install process failed with a "depend" something error (I've had to decamp to another computer, for reasons you'll see below). I can't get any more info than that from dpkg or apt-get. 2. Probably because of 1., stty0 vanished, as in "doesn't exist" according to Debian. (I'm at my old computer, with a looooonng serial cable attached to the modem...) 3. Even though I didn't touch the kernel, it now complains that it doesn't have ppp configured in... Oh, yeah. X blew up also. Well, "startx" command tells me it can't connect to a server, although FX86Config works just fine. Sigh. Looks like I have to do a complete re-install. Of slink, mind you. It looks like I'm gonna give potato a pass...
