pppd-2.3.4 and linux-2.1.x (x>99) problem

I'm using linux-2.1.99 and pppd-2.3.4 perfectly well but I cannot use
pppd-2.3.4 with kernels 2.1.115 and 2.1.117 (as I tested). The same pppd
works well with linux-2.0.34 (pppd docs say it backs to old behaviour if it
detects old kernels).

After dialing, kppp calls pppd and it dies with the following log in
/var/adm/messages:
Aug 23 06:07:33 wolverine kernel: registered device ppp0
Aug 23 06:07:34 wolverine pppd[147]: pppd 2.3.4 started by ds, uid 1000
Aug 23 06:07:34 wolverine pppd[147]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 23 06:07:34 wolverine pppd[147]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Aug 23 06:07:37 wolverine pppd[147]: Remote message: Login Succeeded
Aug 23 06:07:38 wolverine pppd[147]: Modem hangup
Aug 23 06:07:38 wolverine pppd[147]: Connection terminated.
Aug 23 06:07:39 wolverine pppd[147]: Exit.

syslog says:
Aug 23 06:07:38 wolverine pppd[147]: ioctl(SIOCADDRT) device route: Network is down(100)

I did not change the pppd binary nor anyhing. Must I patch the kernel to get
pppd-2.3.4 working with these kernels? Or must I get a newer pppd (where)?

Any help appreciated, since I want to use the latest kernels.

Thanks
