It looks like remote pppd wants to use CHAP md5 authentication.  I don't know
if it's CHAP or M$-CHAP :( but the docs should tell you how to set it up anyway.

First, you have to roll a kernel with umsdos compiled in.  I don't remember
how exactly Slack does it, but the idea is to have root in a umsdos dir and
to use swapfile on dos fs.  Details should be in UMSDOS-HOWTO I guess.

You'll also want to go through /etc/init.d/scripts and hunt down calls to
e2fsck etc.

Your pppd keeps sending Config Requests until it times out.  Normally
LCP ConfReq is followed by "received LCP ConfAck" -- received from
remote pppd.  So, in your case remote pppd is not running.

In minicom wait unitl you receive a line of garbage with many curly
brackets.  That's remote pppd sending you ConfReq's.  Then exit and
fire up pppd.

If your fetchmail is passing messages to smail via port 25, try adding
a -S your.linux.box option.  (see manpage for details)

I don't have the source to 3.8.0, but the problem is in that line
above.  Feel free to UTSL and find out where it occurs.  ;)
It looks like some library call used to return your host name
before and it doesn't now (assuming fetchmail stopped working
after you upgraded some other packages, like it did here).

Anyway, new versions of fetchmail require that you explicitly
specify the host to deliver to, so you might as well start getting
used to it.  ;)
