I am indeed using a newer pppd, the one from David, which is required for 
kernel 2.4.31, which I am using for USB storage support.  But it worked 
fine in BL2.

I will check permissions on eznet.conf, which contains login and password 
info.  Should that be read-write or executable for user?

Someone coming tomorrow is interested in a linux partition and to use 
internet and wordprocessing.  I need a way to print with Abiword in the 
same X that Opera uses, meaning dialing as user or printing as root.

I can copy my BL2 installation for him, which works with user now.
