Very Computer

I have slackware 1.0 and everything seems to work fine.
I applied the patch in linux-ppp-0.1.5 so that the kernel wouldn't
crash when the first charter was received, then everything seemed to work.
I even tried compiling the 0.1.4 version.
The problem is that ppp doesn't seem to forward packet properly to
the local ethernet.  slip does though.
I can ping and ftp from my remote machine to the linux machine, ftp back and
ping back to the remote machine (from linux).  My local ethernet interface
packet count increases 2 packets everytime I try to ping a machine
on the ethernet but
it never gets a response.  If I setup SLIP with the exact configuration
everything works fine... Anybody know whats up?
