Where do I get the ppp patch (or new ppp source)? Much to my suprise
I found that PPP does not work on 2.1.70. When trying to initialize
the remote end reports LCP Terminated at peers request.

Also, routing seems to have problems as does proxy-arp. I will be more
specific once I get the machine back up. After I failed to connect with
PPP, I tried to reboot remotely. The machine would not reboot. I will
have to boot on a floppy and re-lilo it because something trashed
something involved in the boot sequence.
