I recently built and installed kernel 1.3.45, but found that PPP
doesn't work.

Is there something I'm supposed to adjust to make this work ?

Having just performed the 1.2.13=>1.3.48 upgrade myself over the past couple
of days, I can speak of my experience.

You will need to get a recent ppp source distribution.  I used pppd-2.2.0d
from Sunsite.  You will have to follow the instructions in the pppd package,
which includes patching and compiling the new kernel before compiling the
pppd package.  The package has scripts to do the patching, so just sit back and
watch.  Just follow the instructions exactly in README.Linux.

During kernel configuration, you must select CONFIG_MODVERSIONS = N for ppp
to be included in the kernel.  This is explained in the pppd source.  If you
want it as a kernel module, you will have to set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS = Y.  If
you use iBCS you MUST have CONFIG_MODVERSION = Y, then you have no choice
but to make ppp as a module.

After compiling and installing the kernel, then go back and make and
make install the ppp source.  After insmod'ing slhc.o and ppp.o (assuming
ppp is configured as a kernel module), then try out your script.  I found
that my original dialing script under the 2.1.2d version worked just fine
under 2.2.0d, after updating the paths of pppd and chat.

Good Luck, and happy dialing.

        Yep.

        If you aren't running ppp 2.2.0, you will need to upgrade to
either the .c or .d version of that revision.  If you ARE already running
2.2.0, you'll need to reinstall it under the new kernel.

        It should work fine then.

You need to use ppp2.2.0c from any site.
kernel 1.3.45 has a fancy bsd compression module that will speed up your
connection if you ftp any uncompressed data or run remote programs.

Read the docs in ppp-2.2.0* very carefully and compile the kernel with
ppp support. It works!
