Well, I'd like to say "Thanks for being there." When I sent this message, I
was not sure of what was going on. Well, after sending it, it hit me in the
middle of the night! It was one of those things that was right in front of
me all the time and I just didn't see it.
When I installed (compiled, etc.) ppp-2.3.5, I changed from having ppp as a
module to being built into the kernel. However, the loading of the module
was still in /etc/rc.modules (Slackware) and this caused two drivers to get
loaded. Apparently, the module took precedence in this case. Anyway,
commenting out the loading of the ppp module and rebooting the system has
fixed the problem.
Aside from problems on my part. I'd have to say it was straightforward to
install ppp-2.3.5 and to get it working as advertised! I'm now a happy camper.
