PPC, PPP, Gnome Networking and wvdial

[Justin Kelly]

HI Colin

Thanks again for the reply

I installed wvdial and ran pppconfig as suggested, but came up against
the following 'brick wall', wvdial complains that the kernel doesn't
support PPP or cant be loaded, refer log below.

Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Justin
