Lawson,
can I butt in here, please ? I've tried various kernels since about
2.4.0-test6, all with pppd 2.4.0b1, but never managed to get pppd to
work. Using a regular modem, my reading of the config documentation was
that I only needed async ppp support. It's been a little while since I
played with a kernel on that box, but I'd like to give it another go
soon. Can anyone with a working pppd and 2.4 kernel clarify the ppp config
options for me, please ?
