Hi Garry

I've installed the kernal-image-2.4.18-386 from recent woody this morning and it
has ppp so this should be ok for Mike.

Mike, if you look in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net it has gobs of
network cards supported. Might just need to do an insmod for your card. man
insmod (if you haven't done that already)
