There seems to be a bug in the ppp code in kernel 2.4.0 that stops me from
going to certain web sites.
This bug does not occur when I take the same system to a friends and access
the Internet via ethernet. This bug also did not occur when I was running a
2.2.16 kernel with the latest ppp.rpm ppp-2.4.0-2mdk. This bug can be
bypassed when I use a proxy on the other side of my ppp device. This bug
cannot be bypassed when I use a proxy on this side of my ppp device
(junkbuster on my system).
A web site I can get to is http://slashdot.org/

My system is 98% cooker, which includes 100% of cooker development compilers
and libraries. My kernel is "Linux gamut.epsilon 2.4.0a4-0.18mdk #2 Mon Sep
18 04:17:59 EST 2000 i686 unknown". My compiler is "gcc-2.95.2-12mdk". I
graft my own cflags into the kernel makefile "CFLAGS='-mcpu=pentiumpro
-march=pentiumpro -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizations
-funroll-loops -fschedule-insns2 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti'".
