First time I booted with this kernel I tried to do ppp-on from the X menu
and nothing happened, and when I tried from console it gave me the message
about lacking kernel support.
The regular kernel worked with ppp right after that and numerous other
times.
I rebooted with the pentium kernel.
ppp-on
It put me to the prompt again without even going off hook.
ppp-on
Started to dial, script failed.
ppp-on
Finally worked, third try.
Rebooted and it worked again once and here I am.
I think maybe pppd is not quite as good in BL3 as in BL2. I also could
not get it working with my external 56K modem tho BL2 works with it every
time.
I don't know why the pentium kernel was having more problems. Maybe it is
unrelated to the kernel. To time of day? But it would not even try the
first time I typed ppp-on after rebooting a few minutes ago.
I downloaded this kernel from the first add-on site at 5.4K, at 5 pm.
Must be nobody else online at that time.
I might some day attempt to compile pppd for BL3 from newer source code
(SW7.1).
