The pppd version is whatever comes out of the red hat 6.0 box (2.3.7). This kernel is
recompiled but I am actually speaking of two servers with the same problem and the
other one is not re-compiled.
Also, one of the machines is dual boot with win nt server
and the nt side is sold as
a rock -- go figure!
The problem always occures after too many busy signals
from my ISP (not he nt server
side, it just keeps redialing).
