boot freeze at bringing up interface ppp0


hello,
my box has redhat 9 installed on it..
i was trying to set up my dial up connection using redhat-network-config tool.
i guess i created ppp0 and ppp1 in the process...
anyway,my boot process freezes at->
"bringing up interface ppp0"

i decided to use the installation disk and booted by using the linux rescue command.
i changed the default run level from 5(graphical) to "s" mode using
/etc/inittab file..
i removed ppp and reinstalled it using rpm commands
even now when i try to switch to run level 5,the boot freezes at
"bringing up interface ppp0"
what could be wrong?what is the interface ppp0?
thanks,
dhananjay

try booting to run level 1
and from there you should be able to fix the other run levels
it shouldn't be trying to bring up ppp0 at all on boot
