For anyone's information: I had problems with ppp frequently until about
kernel 1.3.57 or so. Then I RTFM re-read the documentation. I now follow
this procedure with every new kernel. (it's in the book!) :)
1. after untarring the latest & greatest
2. cd to ppp-2.2.0e ( or whatever version you happen to be using)
3. do a 'make clean ; make kernel' (even if it skips over _everything_)
4. back to /usr/src/linux ...
5. compile the kernel....
6. make modules
7. cd to ppp-2.2.0e and...
8. do a 'make ; make install'
9. reboot !
Haven't had the first problem since following this procedure.
