alias net-pf-4          off     # ipx not in use
alias net-pf-5          off     # appletalk not used

Of course if ipx and appletalk aren't modules, this won't help...

Here's a few more aliases in /etc/modules.conf I've come to use over the
past year and a half:

alias tty-ldisc-6       ppp
alias char-major-4      serial
alias char-major-5      serial
alias ppp-compress-21   bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24   bsd_comp


This is all for 2.0.33 modules.

Finally, is your kernel compiled with TCP/IP networking support?  I'd
almost guess not based on the lack of a ppp0 interface.  Do "make
menuconfig" in your linux kernel source directory.  This way you'll get
an ncurses menu interface to check and change your kernel compile
options.  

While the specifics won't apply to Southwind, you can look at my page
for some PPP ideas over here:

Don't worry, we won't let you fail!
