- Well, unfortunately there is no global solution to this problem due to the
- fact that there are to many variables in this game (e.g. type of Amiga;
- accelerator card yes/no; serial.device replacement yes/no/which; dynamic IP-
- Address yes/no etc.).
-
- I *might* be able to help you on this one if you send me your full
- configuration. Another solution would be to get in contact with Holger Kruse
- (kruse@america.com) the author of the ppp.device. He seems to be a very
- helpfull guy who offered his assistance more then once in this newsgroup.
-
- Sorry that I couldn't be more specific, but if you write the error you get is
- "opendevice: resource allocation failure" I can at least think of this
- possibilities and there might even be more:
- - There dosen't exist a "DEVS:Sana2/ppp.device"
- - Wrong unit number in "AmiTCP:db/interfaces"
- - No "ENV:Sana2/ppp0.config"
