After starting pppd and logging out, I receive a message simillar to
this:
mgod:~# ppp-go
Local IP: 207.247.19.42

mgod:~# exit

Code: 8B 42 04 39 D8 75 F7 89 4A 04 55 9D 8B 06 50 E8 3A 7F FF FF
Then the system locks up to the point where I have to turn it off then
back on again.
I think ppp.c may be freeing some things prematurely, since everything
works fine if I don't use pppd.
Hmm...if I disabled the forced crash bit of code in mm/ I may be able to
get it to run normally, at the expense of stability.
Thanks,
