I'm talking about the kernel module, not ppp daemon. In the kernel
source tree it's under linux/drivers/net. You need to download the
2.2.14 kernel, compile it, edit the ppp.o binary to reflect your current
kernel (using Emacs or something), then stick it in
/lib/modules/2.2.xx/net/ in place of the ppp.o that's already there.

Yeah. Only OS I've found that can run a Winmodem flawlessly is BeOS. :-)

It's easy enough to change back, you just replace the ppp.o module with
the original one. But I wouldn't bother if you're getting an external
modem on Friday.
