I have a working ppp on kernel 2.2.9. my pppd command is
exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 lock modem crtscts \
asyncmap 0 defaultroute connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
pppd --version
(pppd version 2.3 patch level 5)
egrep -v '#|^ *$' /etc/ppp/options
domain mindspring.com
mru 1500
mtu 1500
name <login-name>
I don't recall making any changes to the above when going to the 2.2.x
kernel. The only differences I can see are what i show above.
