- That's not a version number that corresponds to anything we've ever

- you're using the popular free PPP implementation that's widely

- which is why you see our company's name on the READMEs, but what you

- happened, you could have written to support@morningstar.com and it
- would have been quickly fixed.

- ppp: tcsetpgrp(): inappropriate ioctl ...

- That's a problem I seem to remember some users of the free stuff
- discussing in this forum, but I don't remember the resolution. Sorry,
- but I doubt that anyone here (including our long-lost vacationing
- Karl) will be able to help you much, since it's not our product and we
- haven't seen that code for well over a year now.
