To talk to the new driver, pppd needs to be able to open /dev/ppp,
character device (108,0).  If the special file node /dev/ppp is not
present, pppd will create it.  However, if you are running with /dev
on a read-only filesystem, pppd will not be able to create /dev/ppp.
In that instance you should manually create /dev/ppp using the command
`mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0'.

If you use module autoloading and have PPP as a module, you will need
to add the following to your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

alias tty-ldisc-3    ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14   ppp_synctty
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
...
"
If works, reply to me please.

I will install this week Red Hat 6.1/updates and ppp-2.3.11 and I will
modify the code ppp_mppe.c to force Data Encryption option on client or
refuse conection it. MPPE_BIT_ENCRYPTED - Bit D set to "1"). A old question
"...to Know is about to refuse any conection different of the ms-chapv2
(with data encryption options set)..."

Other thing, I was out any time and see some old e-mail about <auth 0x80> or
<auth 0x81> and question if was stasteless mode or what....?
The option <auth 0x80> MSCHAP or MSCHAPv1 is enabled by negotiating CHAP
algorithm 0X80 and <auth 0x81> MSCHAPv2 is enabled by negotiating CHAP
algorithm 0X81.

Stateless mode  ('H' bit is set 0x01) indicates that the sender wishes to
negotiate the use of stataless mode, in whith the session key is changed
after the TX fo each packet.

Sorry if this information above is not relevant!

Wish you all a very happy holiday season and a happy new year. (Here is 1999
yet ...)
