I finally get PPP working with the 1.3.6 kernel by getting the latest
PPP BETA package from Al Longyear's site and installing it exactly
according to the given directions in the README.linux file. Al's
current version of PPP 2.2 BETA is available from ftp.netcom.com
as /pub/lo/longyear/ppp-2.2/950704.tar.gz. Al posted a message
earlier today about the PPP issue.
