The 5MX kernel does not use modules, so modprobe, lsmod, etc. are not needed.
Even so, the kernel looks for the modules directory and complains when it doesn't
find it (or the module utilities).  I believe these complaints are irrelevant
and can be ignored.  PPP is directly in the kernel, and should show up in the
boot messages.

As for the pppd problem, I dunno.  It has been a long time since I tried this.
My suspicion would be that the wrong device was somehow being used, or that 
permissions for the device were not set quite right, or that the serial port
was not configured quite correctly.  /dev/ttyAM1, if I remember correctly.

I could also use minicom to manually connect to my ISP using a modem. However when I came to try to set up PPP I came accross the following. I used pppconfig to setup, and I checked the files in /etc/chatscript and /etc/ppp they were ok, but on entering pon, the command appeared to be accepted and quickly returned me to the prompt but nothing. on examining top, pppd was running but no attempt to dial the modem. Am I perhaps missing something important frm the tiny cut down version of woody, I noticed at one point it was complaining about modprobe, but that error has dissapeared.
