I just recently installed Debian/Slink and have been trying to get ppp
working.
Here's my basic steps:
1. Dial in with minicom and start PPP on the server side.
2. Quit minicom, without a reset.
3. execute
/usr/sbin/pppd debug crtscts /dev/ttyS1 38400 asyncmap 20A0000
$LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP noipdefault netmask $NETMASK defaultroute
4. I wait... the modem hangs up...
Here is the contents of /var/log/ppp.log for one try:

I've not had this problem before. I've run Slackware and Redhat and
always managed to get my ppp link up, easily even.
After reading the ppp how-to I realize I might have the wrong version of
ppp. It said I needed ppp-2.2.0 for a kernel version <= 2.0.x
So since I had a 2.2.1 kernel on hand I built it (with ppp support) and
got things booting up again. PPP still won't work and the error message
above came from a 2.2.1 boot up.
Oh, then on a side I downloaded ppp-2.2.0d.tar.gz and tried to build
it. Thinking that the HOWTO may be speaking of kernel >= 2.0 also.
I couldn't get it to compile and since I have so many variables working
against me I decided to post this message...
Does anyone have an idea of what could be going on here?
As you can see from the above log I have pppd v 2.3.5
