Unix98 ptys don't seem to be working

So I'm testing out various pppoe clients for linux for the local telco, but they all seem to require Unix98 ptys. I believe that I have done everything necessary to get them working: - kernel in use is 2.2.12, compiled with Unix98 ptys and pty filesystem - glibc 2.1.2 (and ldso upgraded
