Last night, I did a bk pull from linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.6, built and rebooted, and the pppd (version 2.4.2) failed to start after the modem at the ISP end answered.
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.
