I hate to do this but `Same here'.  I built a new 32-bit kernel a few days
ago and when I tried to use ppp it would dial up but not connect.  I
figured it was a kernel/userland mismatch since my userland is also
November timeframe.  I didn't have the time to debug it so I reverted to
my November kernel.
