Recovering from QNX 6 patch

The QNX 6 patch killed my ability to make a ppp connection to my ISP. I tried to reinstall QNX from the CD and cannot revert back that way. I will do an “Uninstall” and a reload.

I am not familiar enough with the QNX structure to understand what “pppd system lacks ppp kernel support” means in English, how I lost it, or how to restore it without a “brute force” fresh start.

It means io-net isn’t running, or wasn’t started with pppmgr.

slay io-net

io-net -pttcpip -ppppmgr

Merci Sean!

I slayed io-net, there were about four of them.
"#io-net -pttcpip -ppppmgr’’ did not work but
#io-net -p tcpip -p pppmgr” fixed the problem, netmanager was not happy.

For some reason I can load 39,000 newsgroups through QNX but cannot
access any “qdn.public” unless I go back to Win-Me / Outlook Express.
