I just installed 1.5Alpha/i386 on a machine that is a ppp dialup
server to try it out.  The pppd setup is exactly the same as what
worked with 1.4.2 (as is the setup on the client end), but I cannot
get a connection established.

The connections (viewed from the client side) go like:

     Jul  6 22:46:03 larix chat[348]: CONNECT
     Jul  6 22:46:03 larix chat[348]:  -- got it 
     Jul  6 22:46:03 larix chat[348]: send ()
     Jul  6 22:46:03 larix pppd[345]: Serial connection established.

     Jul  6 22:46:34 larix pppd[345]: Connection terminated.

What has changed with pppd that could cause this?  Is the problem
related to all the other networking stuff (e.g., kerberos, etc..) that
is giving people problems?  Are magical incantations required to get
pppd to do the "old" IP4-only stuff that I was using before?

Any suggestions on how to track down the problem are welcome.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
