Sometimes, (under 2.2.11) I have to kill pppd 3 or 4 times before it hangs up and dies. Also, after connecting, it takes a few minutes for the interface to come up. During this time, pppd does not appear to lock the device. I don't think this is a problem with pppd, because it worked fine when I was using kernel ver. 2.2.5. I've just had to deal with it.

I have to agree. I haven't had anything that locks up the machine (the Magic SysRq key is a life saver), but some things just don't seem to work quite right.
