PPP Problems

[Alex Monaghan <monaghaa@royalmail.co.uk>]

This may be a FAQ, if so please point me to the 
right place. 

I have kernel 2.0.27 and could not make a PPP 
connection. 

I can dial and login to my ISP OK, but can't seem 
to get a PPP session.

When I use my old Slackware 1.3.x PC on the same 
modem with the same setup I get a connection and a 
PPP session.

The only difference I can see is when I cat 
/proc/net/(can't remember which one) 

on the Slakware one I get ppp0-15 as well as lo and 
eth0, on the Debian I get only eth0 and lo.

I've applied the 2.0.28,29&30 patches and 
re-compiled (making sure that ppp is included) but 
still the same result.

When checking the logs I get the pppd startup 
messages as on Slackware, but get LCP a timeout 
message.

Any suggestions ?
