      i have a usb modem from telefonica (spain).
      i use rh 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-3, but i have recompiled the a new one with version 2.4.22!
      i have recompiled the driver from the source file cxacru-2003-10-05-src.tgz.
      regards.

      Maybe you forgot an option in your kernel
      CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
      this may the cause of your 'Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3' error if not set

      the second possibility is that you did not have
      alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
      in your /etc/modules.conf

      A little google search with this error show you what to do

      yes i have done the reserch in google for
      "Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument", than i found ,as you are saying, that i missed the the ppp_async option. I  recompiled my kernel with this option, but now i get this error:

      Hello,

      What do you see in /var/log/messages and with dmesg command?
      I recommend that you use rp-pppoe. You look quick guides (others section) at http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net

      Regards,
        Josep

      Hello,
      I haven't posted the errors from the output of "cat /var/log/messages" because it is the same as those of the cxstart.sh's output! and for dmesg there is nothing to pick out because I have disabled the cxacru service at boot time!
      But the good news is that my adsl works fine (i am posting from linux!), the trick, that I picked out from
      these forum, is just that  i have recompiled the driver from
      cxacru.... with 'make' and not 'make new' !
      finally I thank all the staff of this project and gespinasse.
      best regards.
