Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.3-20041231+2
Severity: normal

As suggested I converted my /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot setup into 
/etc/network/interfaces one:

auto sdi

...

iface sdi inet ppp                                                              
                     
    provider sdi

and while ifup sdi/ifdown sdi works fine while system is fully up, it cannot
start while powering up. 

I guess the reason is, that my [ppp] modem is a serial device,
and serial port state is restored only after network interfaces
are powering up (from /var/log/bootlog):

Thu Mar 17 13:55:28 2005: /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

setserial and networking are invoked from rcS.d:
 S40networking
 S46setserial
 
'old' ppp was invoked from S14ppp, but in rc2.d, which - according to
/etc/inittab - is processed after rcS.d.

I'm not sure how to solve this correctly: setserial seems not to have
any dependencies between S40 and S46, but then it may be my system 
only. On the other hand S45mountnfs.sh havily depends on S40 if network
filesystems are present.
