I recently upgraded my laptop computer from Slackware 3.4 to SuSE Linux 6.1. I am trying to get SuSE Linux to connect to Demon Internet, but I keep getting errors from `pppd' where it said `operation not permitted' in the file `/var/log/messages'. I have also downloaded latest `pppd' 2.5.8 and it still did not work. Here are the messages:

pppd[345]: pppd 2.3.8 started by root, uid 0 pppd[345]: kernel tty_io.c process (345) pppd used obsolete `/dev/cua2' up date software to use `/dev/ttyS2' .... pppd[345]: Serial connection established pppd[345]: ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT): Operation not permitted pppd[345]: tcsetattr: Operation not permitted pppd[345]: Exit

And you were using the same hardware before on Slack 3.4? and it worked?

Yes I am using the same AJP 6200 laptop (circa 1997) that had Slackware 3.4. I probably am going to go buy a Dell Inspiron 7000 Laptop 366Mhz P-II, 128MB Ram, 10MB HDD, Rage AGP, 8MB 15" TFT soonish and probably not the AJP 8500PD. Any one out there experienced? ;-) -- Cheers Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------- import std.disclaimer; // More Lava for ya Java, mate!
