now a further problem:

i tried the sudo kppp and got thru the logging problem only to find that there is no PPP0 device. MAKEDEV refuses to make anything more than /dev/ppp . . . no ppp0.

but that's what pppd is asking for!!!! not ppp.

so my connection fails cuz of no ppp0.

last time i did ppp, there was a ppp0. someone changed makedev and didn't tell pppd.

i've been proseltizing linux and knoppix in particular. to everyone. but i can't even dial in to an isp!

frustrated beyond...
