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.
