In the recent kernels (2.1.24 & 2.1.25) PPP is not working like it did.
I am getting disconnected while it is logging on. My message log is:

Sometimes it works, but most of the time it hangs-up. The problem does not
occure in linux 2.0.28. Yes, I am using pppd 2.3pl0beta3. I think someone
else had this problem also. Thanks
