I took a look, but I didn't understand much of it.
Guess I'll have to leave this to someone that knows what to look for :)

I got 2.3.10-3 which was the latest I could find on ftp.linuxppc.org.
pppd now recognizes the ppp support, but is not able to access /dev/ttySx,
so I can't communicate with the modem. (Unable to access /dev/ttyS0 : No
such device). It works fine with kernel 2.2.10 of course...
