Strange pptp-linux problem

[Eliran]

Hello !

I recently installed MDK9 and after *successfuly* being able to get online under Debian and RedHat,
found that things aren't the same in MDK.

I use the same scripts and configuration as before but there seems to be an error with the
pptp-linux binary. I first started it and noticed (pptp-linux notified me actually ) there is no
'pppd' package so I couldn't run it.... So I launched my MDK CD and installed the appropriate RPM...

Still, things are the same. There is no problem with the routing table neither eth cards.
I checked the logs and it seems the modems HANGUP after a sequence of sent/received
(or something like that), here is it:

<log>

</log>

This line looks strange:
Feb 4 16:12:51 rulix /etc/hotplug/net.agent: assuming ppp0 is already up

If this is some sort of MDK feature don't shout on me, I just decided to give it a try ;-)

Then I went to rpmfind.net and d/l'ed the latest version 'pptp-client' for MDK which installed 'pptp'.
This pptp binary is very strange and always show me bizarre errors.

BTW Does any of you know why the Generic Disc of Debian-3.0 Woody does not come with a default of a 2.4 kernel ?
I have to download a separate CD for it. Otherwise I have to compile it manually after installing the 2.2 one.
Who would want to use 2.2 ??!!

Thanks !!!
