You should ask to -question mailing list about ppp. You'll need -current for the ZIP+. Your snap is too old, ZIP+ driver was commited this week. > >>controller ppbus0 >>controller vpo0 at ppbus? >> >>device nlpt0 at ppbus? >>device ppi0 at ppbus? >>device plip0 at ppbus? >> >>controller ppc0 at isa? port 0x278 tty irq 7 vector ppcintr > >Aha, that ppc0 wasn't clear to me, included it now...
