That is the first problem. The second problem is a lack of RTFM before posting.... /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes would have answered your question.

Yes, you need a newer ppp. You can get it from ftp://ftp.redhat.com if you use Red Hat (do "site exec locate ppp" when logged in), or from ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp.

Bryn PS while you are doing updates, have a good read of the Changes file. - -- PGP pubkeys from http://www.gytha.demon.co.uk/pubkey.asc. Men often believe -- or pretend -- that the "Law" is something sacred, or at least a science -- an unfounded assumption very convenient to governments.
