Hello,
Pardon me if I'm not understanding something correctly, I'm a little green with this. But, I've been under the impression that ppp-2.3.1 is the current definitive ppp distribution, with the Linux port being maintained by Al Lonyear. I've been using that with kernels 2.1.48 up with great success. As we know, the ppp distribution basically nukes several of the linux kernel source files and replaces them with it's own. Now the fun part.. the 2.1.54 patch makes changes to (the original) ppp.c. The changes themselves occur after the release of ppp-2.3.1's copy of ppp.c, yet the distribution copy is still dated later (someone forget to update ==FILEVERSION?) I'm deducing that ppp is undergoing parallel maintainance and I'm wondering if this is going to confuse someone (more important than I :) down the road. For now I'm just re-installing the ppp.c from the ppp distribution over the stock kernel one.
Again, excuse me if I've made an error.
thanks, -bp -- B. James Phillippe <bryan@Terran.ORG> UNIX, Linux, networks, programming, etc. NIC:BJP4 # http://w3.terran.org/~bryan
