        I can talk tot he modem just fine. Actually, a few days ago, I
        have build yet another kernel based off of 2.2.15-2.9.0. I got
        both the accelerated graphics and PPP to work, so I thought I
        was golden. But then I discovered that ethernet was broken.

        After a day of messing around and rebuilding kernels, I got it
        back to where ethernet works but PPP doesn't.

        I did an strace of pppd nad it simply gets hung hortly after it
        sets up the local/remote IP addresses. I built ppp as a module
        and, via lsmod, it DOES get loaded (along with its
        dependencies).

        I don't know what's going on.
