Hello Bjorn,

Beginning with mod utils vers *.69 I received the following error when trying to load the
ppp.o module by hand with insmod:

insmod: malloc failed: Out of memory

Kind of odd, considering my system has 32megs of ram and little or no apps running.

My system is as follows:

Pentium P60 32megs, libc 5.2.18, and other ELF related stuff, gcc 2.7.2 ...

currently running kernel 1.3.73 although I am getting ready to move to 1.3.75 when I
am satisfied that the messages addressing TCP/IP problems are addressed.

I don't know if it is something I am doing wrong or what. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks,
Steve
