Uncomment the relevant line in your kernel config file, as I've already told you on my previous private mail. If you don't know how to do that, read the section in the handbook on rebuilding the kernel. *It will not work until you do that*! BTW, why do you use kernel-mode ftp? User-mode ppp is configured into the kernel by default, so if you don't want to rebuild it, you can still use it. Again, look at the handbook and tutorials for details.

You probably have /etc/remote or some other tip file set up incorrectly. If all goes well you don't have to use tip, but it might be useful for debugging. > > thanks for your help > v > vv v > v vvvv v > .VVVVVV. > //FLAME\\ > ^^^^^^^^^ >
