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).
