-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ah, ok. Login as root, and type the following: mknod /dev/ttyS4 c 4 68 Now, you should have a ttyS4 file in your /dev directory, and you should be ready to try ppp_on again. As for why you don't have a ttyS4 file, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps whoever created the /dev devices in debian, assumed that you would only have 4 serial ports, which makes sense if you think about it I guess.
