Actually, Steven said that.

I just added "export SHELL='/bin/sh'" to /etc/profile and all is well.
I don't see why this is really necessary.

You can also fix this by adding "export PATH='/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:
/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin'" to profile.
This will add all of the "standard" paths.

Mysterious. One would think that "Device or resource busy" would
only occur with a hardware driver, not a filesystem.

Are you sure about this? This may be a hardware problem.

pppd needs many options to work correctly. It is utterly incapable
of dialing an ISP on its own. You need chat or eznet for that.
