Rich,

These packages need specific kernel versions to work.. (2.2.12-20 for rh61,
2.2.14-5.0 for rh62) the reason is that the ppp code is half a kernel
module, half a daemon.  (I don't know why the ppp designers chose to do it
this way)  So, the ppp code must be built against a specific kernel
version... you can't use my packages with kernel 2.1.14... if you need ppp
with MSCHAP/MPPE under that kernel, you'll have to compile it yourself.  The
spec file in my src.rpm will probably be a big help doing this.

The reason I am using ppp ver. 2.3.10 is because the MSCHAP/MPPE patch is
only available for that version.

Also, please (everyone) use the packages with release
"2mschap_mppe_rh6[12]", as there are bugs in the "1mschap_*" rpms.
