Why did you say you had to recompile the kernel?
according to the manual pg 268 17.2.1 "the kernel needs to support TCP/IP and PPP. If you compile a kernel make sure it does" I see that as 2 seperate sentences denoted by the . "if you want to make use of diald make sure you have slip supported kernel" So instead of assuming the kernel was ok, I made sure. It dosent say.... "this kernel supports ppp as it is" or here is how to check if ppp is workiing on the system Heres a little history I reinstalled, tried to set up with yast, diddnt work, so I then did the kernel and tinkered with it *much* before posting here. On the last install, it would dial up to the isp but couldnt ping the isp saw the connection but was baffeled as was I. Im off to work and have some appointments tonight but I will continue thanks rob - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
