I'm running debian potato with kernel 2.2.18 and pppd 2.2.11 on a PowerMac 7500 with a SupraExpress 56k. I had a problem with the /dev/ttyS0 device that I was using for my modem. It would dial up but it just never could establish a pppd connection. Finally tried the old /dev/cua0 and now it works. I don't really understand why though. I think it is somehow related to the modem and the mac 8-pin serial port.
Using /dev/cua0 could help, but then again it might not be supported in kernel 2.4.1. If who need to know how to create /dev/cua0, let me know and I will tell you how. Hope this helps somewhat.
