PPP Problem (ppp0 not there)

hi!

when i use the modularized ppp driver the interface simply isn't there...
i.e., pppd can't activate the interface. the module is indeed loaded and
"there" (checked with lsmod).

if i load the module with modprobe or insmod, the result is the same.

the problem happens when the server had uptime about 14 days which is
aprox. 140 ppp connects. after a reboot the system seems stable for
another 14 days.

kernel: 2.0.30

i now went over to include ppp statical into the kernel.

but soon this server will get isdn boards, and the i do NEED modules for
ppp :-(.

i do need to know which kernel >= 2.0.30 runs ok with modularized PPP
(2.0.27 did)
