Has anyone had ppp negotiation problems recently?
I can't seem to get my laptop to get a connection set up at any of
my 3 potential PPP sites.

It acts as if the remote side never successfully sees any LCP packets
sent by my end.
Using the same modem card works fine with kermit.

I know this used to work with this laptop and the same PPP setup back
with a NetBSD-1.1/i386 kernel & userspace.  And I have no PPP problems
with my home machine via an ISDN async line.

Here's a sample failing negotiation:
