Getting ppp to work under kernel 2.1.120

I can't seem to get ppp to work under 2.1.120. It calls the number,
connects, but dies when it tries to establish the ppp connection.

(The same sequence works like a charm running under 2.0.35.)

There must be a way to tweak things a bit to make it run just as well
under 2.1.120.

Any ideas?

Here is what I see in the log file.
