I don't know if anyone else has seen this with Slink's PPP, but I installed a fresh system (didn't want to do an uprade) and PPP did not function properly.
I have never used pppconfig before, but I did not. I got the connection setup and it it authenticated without a problem. But it would not setup the defaultroute?!?! I did have defaultroute in /etc/ppp/peers/<provider> and in the /etc/ppp/options. I could set it manually but what fun is that. It was fixed once I installed potato's copy of the ppp package. I just wondered if anyone else saw this? I figured I would have seen more emails in debian-user after a month of slink being "stable"! --Jay
