Which unfortunately doesn't seem to indicate anything..

Does the system really freeze totally? Aren't you able to login via=20
ssh? Are you running in console mode? It's not just the x server=20
freezeing? Could you try some other tool than kppp, although this is=20
basically just a wrapper and shouldn't have any influence on the=20
crashing?

Or maybe you leave out the ram speed argument, but I can hardly imagine=20=

that memory problems would be triggered by the ppp daemon. I really=20
think it's about the kernel serial driver code. What has changed=20
between the kernel versions in the driver code (or the whole=20
framework..))?

These are just a few pointers you could go after.
