New device for KPPP?

I am trying to get my Xircom modem working under KPPP. The hardware browser shows the modem as /dev/ttyS4 but that isn't an option for devices under KPPP. Is there a way for me to insert a new device in the list?

You could make a link from /dev/modem to the new device

I think that is a routing problem.
The default route shoul point to the IP of the provider side of the PPP link.

Try something like

#> route add default gw IP_of_the_provider

I am having a problem somewhat similar to that reported by park19. In my case the modem is on /dev/ttySHCF0, and it works okay if I create a symbolic link to /dev/modem. However, the link gets broken or overwritten each time the system boots, and I have to re-create it. I wish I knew what is causing this.
