RE: fixing demand-dialing ppp
I had this same problem, so I manually removed woody ppp and installed
potato ppp, then marked it 'hold' so that it wouldn't get replaced on the
next apt-get upgrade.
Since then, ppp demand-dial has been working just great on my woody
ipmasq/demand-ppp 56k dail-out box.
If you don't need whatever functionality might be in the latest ppp, but do
need the demand-dial, then this might work for you as well.
Of course, perhaps you've already tried this; in which case nevermind. :-)

Subject: fixing demand-dialing ppp
I have the same problem that is described in bug #103843: my woody box
can't do demand-dialing ppp.
While the bug is still open, the maintainer
(Eduard Bloch <inet@zombie.inka.de>) posted this response:
> The reason is the kernel-mode-pppoe patch, having removed it
> the pppd seems to start fine.
I have no clue what this is supposed to mean. I got pristine 2.2.19
sources from ftp.us.kernel.org and built a kernel with make-kpkg, but
I still have the problem. I've tried both building ppp into the
kernel and building it as a module, but both fail.
A couple of points that might be relevant:
1) My woody box that is having this problem is running ip masquerade.
2) I've been building these kernels on a sid box with make-kpkg, then
installing them on my woody box.
Anyone have any suggestions?
