ppp-go doesn't go, here's some output for what does happen. I've copied the lines from README.linux into /etc/modules.conf for 2.2 kernels and for running ppp on a serial modem. I have gotten out using minicom on the serial modem, so that's no problem and modprobe -v ppp returns no complaints. The date on this machine is at least a day behind time. Below you'll find a script file containing commands and results from attempting to run ppp-go. I had gotten my serial modem and serial card working and had already set up the modem link but as of now, this isn't going anywhere. Is this a kernel 2.2.19 bug or a slackware 8.0.0 bug or both, and what can I get to fix it? ppp is version 2.4.1 if that's any help and this is an intel-based pentium machine.
