The PPP problem actually affects only a small percentage of users. We had
quite a few folks at Red Hat test it personally, and we tested it on a
bunch of different ISPs before shipping. We can still only reproduce this
problem on every third day :-(
For now, try an "insmod ppp" by hand before bringing up ppp and see if that
helps (it seems to fix it for most folks). We don't know why, but something
seems to have changed in ppp or pppd which is causing a SIGHUP to be sent
if the ppp module takes "too long" to load.
I don't have any excuses for the lpd bugs :-(
