Actually the modification in irqhandler.c is in the function dosoftints()
the line #ifdef PPP needs to be modified to read #if NPPP > 0. That'll 
teach me to propose a bug fix for code before trying it out.

With this modification I can now make PPP connections.

The question is should the PPP macro be defined and if so where should it 
be defined?
