PPP-Dialin Problems

I tried to get this solved elsewhere with no results.
Question: will ppp2.3.5 work with linux 2.0.35 as well as 2.1.120?
System is Computer A win NT4.0-Linux suse 5.3
Computer B win98 and hacked slackware -linux 2.0.35, 2.1.120
mgetty on both systems-ppp3.3.5
Both systems can dial-out OK to my ISP-but neither win system can
connect to any linux system and pass packets. I can login OK and
pppd starts, the win boxes seem happy but NO ping. It's like the
ttyS0 will not allow rw after pppd starts. I get a message in the log
that says "ppp_tty_read: no data (EAGAIN). I see this in the kernel
code so maybe ppp is broken some how? Other people in the network
mailing list see this and are also puzzled.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks Len
