Thanks Frank (and everyone else who replied). Frank's suggestion did point
me in the right direction. I had an older 2.6.8-mppe kernel. Since I no
longer needed the mppe stuff I upgraded to the 2.6.12 kernel in debian's
archive. Now it works!
Again, thanks to all who helped. Somehow it was the kernel.
Regards,
Gordon
