Date: 17 Aug 1995 02:48:17 GMT Organization: HookUp Communication Corporation, Oakville, Ontario, CANADA Lines: 16 Message-ID: <40ualh$s2@noc.tor.hookup.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net2.canadian-agra.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 16bit) 'ello I've been trying to get pppd to work over a dialin line (I followed the steps in the handbook). However, everytime I log in, and start pppd, a message something like "inapropriate ioctl for device" pops up on the server console. But ppp still sorta works. I can ping the server, but that's about it. Telneting or ftping to the server is outta the question. Sometimes I get this cool kernel panic and the system crashes. What gives? btw, running over ttyd00 any suggestions? thanx Tom
