I don't beleive there's something wrong with pppd, but I can't tell from your report. What have you configured and how, and what *does not* work? What do the logs say?
Also, /etc/ppp/options, chap-secrets, pap-secrets don't *start* the pppd process. You either need to start mgetty on the serial port of the modem( and configure it with AutoPPP) or start pppd itself on the serial line and set it with a auto-answer chat script - so that it answers the modem when it rings).
Either of those should be put in /etc/inittab
I have those files there and I'll dig them out and post, but the issue is after mgetty accepts the data call, with AutoPPP, pppd doesn't create the tcp/ip connection for the data line. Let me dig out the config and post it. I'm encouraged that you think pppd is still working fine. I have fought pppd ever since suse 11.0, worked fine in 10.3 -- not in 11.0 same config. I'm tight for time at the moment, I'll get this together tomorrow. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
