See, I know this (saw this for myself when I forgot to update ppp on a slak
box I was trying to move to 2.4.x). I'm not all that much of a coder, so
dont know the specific reason for this requirement. Maybe (as someone else
said) the kernel code re ppp has changed, so user space ppp code (pppd) has
to change as well.
