Jan 15 22:31:26 darkstar pppd[335]: Exit.
And about ppp0. I didn't underst&. I chose in KPPP Device Tab my modem as
/dev/modem. If I press "Ask modem" button, all's ok. But ppp0 isn't found!
I think, I don't need symlink from /dev/modem to, say, /dev/ttyS0; my modem is
in "upper" PCI. But how to set up ppp0???
you can also goto www.linuxant.com to checkout their driver. they also have a scanmodem script to tell you what your chipset you have. they only downside is they driver is not free if you want full 56k speed. What I did rather then pay for their driver I bought a real modem Best Data 56sx-92 which is a serial hardware modem on www.pricewatch.com for a dollar more than linuxants driver. their are also harware isa and pci modems but a serial modem is the best compatabilty.
I'm not going to buy a new modem. There MUST be the way to get my ZyXel56kOmniPlusPCI working (with Conexant HSF chipset). May be there's smth wrong with my kernel? I used default 'bare.i' image while Slackware installation and Chose 'Install kernel from Slackware CD'. And does anybody here know HOW to be with "ppp0 - no such device" while pppd tries to run???

Ok, it seems all of u want this thread to die, and me to still use Win2k to get to Internet. Thanks to those who helped me somehow. So let it die. Sorry for boring again. I asked this question on linuxforums.org, but...

Do it yourself. - LinuxQuestions advise to kornerr
Internal, internal... MODEM.
Try linking ttyS? (from 0 to 9) to /dev/modem or specifying eacj of these devices. PCI modems are usually above ttyS3.
Do as I suggested before and remove everything in /etc/ppp. then reinstall ppp, kdenetwork and rp-pppoe(if installed). If you want to use kppp do NOT run pppsetup, just do all the setup with kppp and try each device as above.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, gnashley!!! Yes, ppp0 is still not found, but now I'm writing from LINUX!!! You were right: the problem was in pppsetup. I removed it, reinstalled, also reinstalled kdenetwork and rp-pppoe. Thank you, man!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
