Have you upgraded libc5 and glibc?
There were serious holes in them that could be causing your problems.
Even if you have to do it through minicom, do the upgrades in
/redhat-5.0/upgrades/RPMS/i386 from your favorite mirror. They help, and
for me added some extra speed. (This assumes RHL 5.0, if you have 5.1 you
a bit better off, but still do the upgrades for 5.1, you be happier in the
long run)
Also, please define "hang" like doesn't work or starts, freezes and you
have to switch to a diffrent terminal and kill -9 the process?
There is a big diffrence.
What does ifconfig say about ppp0?
What does /var/log/messagaes say about the ppp connection?
If it is having problems, pppd will log (very detailed) accounts of all
the problems as well as kernel messages about bad networking stuff.
And something I dug up, check /etc/ppp/pap-seccrets. make sure your
secrets line reads:
foo * bar # This is what it should be, unless you have a funky setup
NOT
foo ppp0 bar # This is what netcfg does, whcih from the man page and HOWTO
# seems wrong.
