You must use more recent BIOS (mine is running one from late 1999 I believe... that is recent since DEC is long gone). This is all from memory. My configuration follows after. I hope this helps people. Also, note that if you use pppd on 2.4.x (or even most 2.2.x) w/ the Venturis PPro systems, you probably shouldn't try to do anything more than 56k for port bitrate. Bad things start to happen. Some things not set, like ECN, do work, I just have reasons (in this case, hotmail for my wife) to not use the things. I am sure this is true w/ most drivers. However, this as listed below (# lines were removed), lets me run my Venturis 6200 GL just fine with 2.4.x kernels (and most 2.3.x kernels from wherever I started using them (can't remember today)).
