Hi everyone!
   I'm having a problem trying to compile version 2.3.4 of pppd. Well, I
haven't gotten as far as the actual software - I'm having trouble with the
kernel changes. I was wondering if anybody came across these problems
before?
   I moved to this version in order to try to use MSCHAP as I have been
having problems with my ISP. My symptoms are as follows:

- With the Linux box, I have to make several attempts to get a connection,
but eventually do. I guess they may have configuration issues and going
through the modem cascade I eventually get connected.

- An OS/2 box exhibits the same as above.

- A Macintosh - forget it!!! I think OT in conjunction with any form of PPP
are a complete disaster (PB1400, PCMCIA Modem).

- With a Win 95 box, I connect first time everytime which hinted to a MS
protocol type thingy

I have also seen references to a version 3.x.x of pppd. Are these just
typos?

Below I have included some of the installation procedure.

MTIA,
Jason.

/root/PPP/ppp-2.3.4/# make kernel
cd linux; ./kinstall.sh

Notice to the user:

It is perfectly legal for this script to run without making any changes
to your system. This means that the system currently contains the
necessary changes to support this package. Please do not attempt to
force this script to replace any file nor make any patch. If you do so
then it is probable that you are actually putting older, buggier, code
over the newer, fixed, code. Thank you.
