hi, few days ago i send a message to list but i didn't get it. so here it is again. and sorry if somebody receve it twice. since i update pppd and my kernel to 2.4.0 few things are stranged. First i can't connect as a use anymore. --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41 --> Cannot open /dev/modem: Permission non accord[e9]e but i still got the same permissions on /dev/modem : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 fév 7 10:39 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS0 My second problem may not be one but as root i connect but there are less informations than with pppd 2.3. it displays the DNS and then nothing. I can't see anymore the rest of the informations (press C-c to quit...). In the logs i had lines like that before : Feb 4 14:26:05 shadout pppd[5763]: sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x2] Feb 4 14:26:05 shadout pppd[5763]: rcvd [CCP TermAck id=0x2] But there are not here anymore but i can use internet and mail. Is it normal or is there something i did not well. Thank you everybody. Charlie Ti
