I guess first make sure that you have the release version of
ppp-2.3.9. Then I suppose do a complete install; including 'make
kernel' from the ppp src directory and rebuilding the kernel. I realize
that v2.3.13 supposedly ships with ppp-2.3.9, (heard that somewhere) but
rebuilding the kernel using the separate source has solved the problem
for some people. Also make sure that you have ppp & ppp_async
configured in the kernel if using a modem. If all this checks out and
it still doesn't work.........surely Paul can help!

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit
within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except
the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the
Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given
us.
