I have the 2.2.9 kernel up and running after getting dismill results with the 2.2.7 kernel.

The biggest problem was that I could not get ppp operating after upgrading from the 2.0.34
kernel. Any way ppp works now but I get the following error message:

tty-io.c process 290 (ppd) used obsolete /dev/cua1- update software to use /dev/ttyS1.

Does anyone know what software I have to update?

Thanx in advance

Alan

Find out how the pppd daemon is called. (For example, run "ps auxw |
grep pppd" while it's running.) The serial device may be specified
in the command line. If it's asking for cua1, the command line needs
to be changed so that it asks for ttyS1 instead.

If you have a symbolic link from /dev/modem to /dev/cua1, change it
so that it points to /dev/ttyS1 instead.

Actually, it is not currently necessary to make this change. The
/dev/cuaX devices may disappear some time in the (distant?) future,
however.

You'll perhaps have to update the pppd package. But it might as well be cured
with editing the commandline that calls pppd with /dev/cua1 instead of the
correct /dev/ttyS1 device.

Or, more likely, delete /dev/modem ( which is a symbolic link
to /dev/cua1 ) are recreate it as a link to /dev/ttyS1

rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

Yes that sounds right, I will give that a whirl on my next linux session.

Thanx

Or changing the symlink for /dev/modem.
