#28 Trouble with pppd

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm having horrible troubles with the pppd daemon. I 'm
running RH7.0 (i386) and I installed everything
according to the HOWTO with a 2.4.17 kernel. The
speedtouch driver installed without trouble and seems
to be working well. pppd, however, generates serious
kernel error logs in /var/log/messages :
Any suggestions ?
