I usually keep the kernel fairly up-to-date with bk, and I'm certain that 2.6.11-vanilla ran pppd just fine a few days earlier. I rebooted to an older kernel (2.6.6) and pppd ran OK. I retested with the 2.6.11-plus kernel, and it was still broken. Due to my slow connection (56k) and slow machine, I wasn't able to further narrow down when this failure was introduced, but I may be able to do that tonight on my home machine. Sorry, I don't have the time or hardware to work on this during the day. If anyone can test a recent 2.6.11-bk-current kernel with pppd on dialup, that would be helpful. Steven
