I have downloaded slackware 3.5 /n4/ppp.tgz which puts both pppd-2.2 and 
pppd-2.3 in /usr/sbin.  Do I need to make a symlink pppd pointing to the 
one of these that matches the kernel I am using, or, as in the case of the 
modules, will the program choose the correct pppd for the kernel?

This relates to using the BL1 (glibc5) libraries with the BL2 (2.2.16) 
kernel, which won't work with the older pppd that comes with BL1, or with 
the SW3.x ppp.o and slhc.o modules.  I am trying to test whether lynx 
compiled statically (no library dependencies) will work with the older 
library.  It does not seem to work with the older kernel (accesses only 
local html pages).
