Nice to know I'm not alone :-)

Git ;-) I'm on a lowly Cyrix 166 :-(

I've tried it with a virgin Slink install, proposed-updates, and then did
an apt-get update; apt-get install with libc6, netbase & so on using
proposed-updates and the potato unstable directories. Nothing changed
(tried at all stages).
My next guess: incorrect serial port settings (mouse ttyS1 & modem ttyS2)
them manually for my modem IRQ). I'll see what letting it set them
automatically does. 95% chance it'll do nothing (it works in 2.0.36 as I
said), but I can try. Otherwise, it's to the newsgroups/linux-ppp.
But I can't try it now. 02.24am. C++ assigments suck.
I'll get back to everyone tomorrow on what the serial port autodetect does.
Thanks,
Kris
