Subject: pppd says - "Sorry - PPP Not available on this machine" - why? Message-ID: <dva.81.0088E44B@syncro.com> Lines: 18 Sender: news@tigger.jvnc.net (Zee News Genie) Organization: JvNCnet X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B] Date: Wed, 18 Jan 1995 04:20:07 GMT I need to get ppp up to test some client software in my lab. It seems that ppp looks for ppp0 device to come up. How can I build this interface? I have built BSD kernels many times (but not for some years), but I can't find the config files which describe the kernel devices - is this where ppp0 (or pppx) is defined, or is there a simpler way to create this interface? Am I missing something obvious? I notice that others are having trouble using PPP - it must not be too bad to get it up! Thanks in advance! Dale Van Aken dva@syncro.com
