It would be helpful to understand the setup of your 16 modems, but I'll take a crack at it. Try setting up the 17th modem on one of the Comm ports. Your ringdown will not care what the device is that is being used, as long as the modem is set to pick up. A 17th user is not exactly a Kernel issue. BSDI 2.0 starts with a 10 user max, so you will have already had to have upped this number at the top of the LOCAL file. Also the suedo ppp devices would have had to be upped in the LOCAL file as well. Sorr to be to non-specific, but your information was scketchy.
