Wow, that is really quite odd isn't it? Is this the normal amount of
verbosity (if that's even a word) reported from the 2.1.1x kernels? I get a
wee bit more in the 2.0.x kernels:
registered device ppp0
PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation)
PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.
PPP line discipline registered.
Hrm, now that's REALLY odd! It's reporting version 2.2.0 although a 'rpm -qa
|grep ppp' clearly shows that I only have one version of ppp installed and
what version it is:
ppp-2.3.5-1

I don't have the ppp-2.3.5 source as I usually try to install everything
via rpm. But I have many friends who run 2.1.129 for example, who simply use
the exact rpm and same kernel source, and they haven't had this problem.

Thank you. Just for others who are searching for it, I guess you left out the
'linux' dir in which it resides and the 'index.shtml':

Yes, I've done that many times. I believe I mentioned the 'CONFIG_PPP=y' in
my original post, but I could be mistaken.
Thanks for the reply,
