If you used the same box and modem under the 2.0.33 kernel then it should
work with the 2.2.9 kernel with ppp-2.3.8. If the box or modem is not the
same then there might be trouble. A 28.8 Kbps or better external modem is
likely to have trouble using a 16450 UART, which an older box could have.
As long as the kernel and the pppd are known to be compatible, this
problem, where the peer doesn't "hear" pppd at the start of LCP PPP link
negotiations but successfully sends messages that pppd understands, has
very often been caused by a serial port misconfiguration, or something
amiss in the settings of the internal modem profile.
