With the bf2.4 kernel (the one that ppp works OK with), /var/log/messages is as follows: Oct 10 22:06:59 alti kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.1 Oct 10 22:06:59 alti pppd[404]: pppd 2.4.1 started by cr, uid 1000 Oct 10 22:06:59 alti pppd[404]: Using interface ppp0 Oct 10 22:06:59 alti pppd[404]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 Oct 10 22:07:15 alti kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered Oct 10 22:07:15 alti kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered Oct 10 22:07:15 alti pppd[404]: local IP address 219.88.129.175 Oct 10 22:07:15 alti pppd[404]: remote IP address 210.55.12.201 Oct 10 22:07:15 alti pppd[404]: primary DNS address 210.55.12.205 Oct 10 22:07:15 alti pppd[404]: secondary DNS address 210.55.12.1 Oct 10 22:07:54 alti pppd[404]: Terminating on signal 15.
