Well, I use /dev/modem which is currently linked to:

/dev/cua2

I know the cuaX devices are deprecated now, but some apps wont
work without them in 2.0.x, so what should I do? I guess I could
add some lines to rc.local to check the kernel version and update
the symlink...

Will this fix the pppd problem?
