As a Linux and Suse newbie I just installed version 7.1 at home; anything seems fine with the exception of pppd which dies immediately at its startup when receiving the CONNECT message from my ISP. Here is the error log: Apr 23 20:50:53 bogota pppd[2551]: Plugin /usr/lib/passwordfd.so loaded. Apr 23 20:50:53 bogota pppd[2551]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Apr 23 20:50:53 bogota pppd[2551]: Perms of /dev/ttyS0 are ok, no 'mesg n' neccesary. Apr 23 20:50:53 bogota pppd[2551]: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument Apr 23 20:50:53 bogota pppd[2551]: Exit. I am without a clue what the error message means, the pppd man pages weren't of help either. Anybody can help me with that one? Thank you in advance, Andreas Philipp aphilipp@007mundo.com
