>If you only use PPP some of the time that your Linux machine is

operating, then compiling PPP support as a loadable module is

recommended. Using 'kerneld', your kernel will automatically load the
|
|
module(s) required to provide PPP support when you start your PPP link
|
|
process. This saves valuable memory space: no part of the kernel can be
|
|
swapped out of memory, but loadable modules are automatically removed if
|
|
they are not in use.</P
