Actually it was in KPPP.
Google produced an answer.
it has to do with removing the link, changing the kppp in /usr/sbin to
include u+s, then creating a new link in /usr/bin/kppp.
after a heart stopping moment getting the modem to speak to me, it worked.
As of this Day, I am windowless for 24 hours.
presently running Suse 9.0, Fedora Core 3 and Redhat 7.3(stupid file
server won't "see" anything newer)
Have a modem issue to work out on the Suse box but printers working
perfectly and Suse "sees" both Zip drives and my USB flash drive.
Even did a little SSH file transfer this AM between machines on the
Network here.
I am greatly in the debt to you, Richard, to the Plug list in General
and to Mike Neal and Ed Sawicki(teachers extraordinaire) for getting me
this far. May I never tire of telling people how really great all of you
are.
Nor will I soon forget a particular teacher,who constantly said two, no
three things to me:
Google is your friend
Did you read the MAN files?
Well, you never really get to know an OS until you've had to install it
a dozen or so times.
ever so grateful to be in your debt,
Harry
