Hello everybody, just compiled the new kernel that is 2.1.122 with ppp, slip and cslip support. I am having some trouble. It works fine the first time I boot up but anytime after that it does not. I searched high and low in the mailing list archives to find the answer. I remember seeing a similar question posed but could not find it. This is an example of what I am doing in the ppp.log file
