no /dev/ppp0

Trying to set up kppp with a serial modem.

When I load the ppp_generic module a /dev/ppp node pops up, but for the life of me, I cannot get a /dev/ppp0 node.

I have
                         alias /dev/ppp*            ppp_generic
in my modprobe.conf and modprobe.devfs

Without /dev/ppp0 pppd will not start.

Any ideas?

Re: no /dev/ppp0

solved

The answer, I am stupid; did not have ppp_async enabled in the kernel.
