I have some problems getting PPP working on Fedora 5. I am not able to load

Look at all of the missing details. Let's start with "what kernel is this?"
Is this the "stock" kernel from FC5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 out of box, and should
have been updated to 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 last August, and 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5
last month), or is this some kernel you compiled on your own? 'uname -a'
will give that information.
How are you trying to run pppd? The few times that I've seen this message
with a modern installation and a "distribution" kernel (also known as a
"kitchen sink" kernel because it has _everything_ compiled in, usually as
a module) is when something else was using the serial port. An example
would be trying to use pppd while running minicom, seyon, or something
similar.
What does 'lsmod' show? You may also want to check (using 'fuser' or
'lsof') if anything is using the serial port - look both at the /dev/ttyS?
device and any links, like /dev/modem).
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, and what I should do instead?
Not until you tell us what you are doing ;-)
