tlug: MPP in TurboLinux?



Anybody know if TurboLinux has MPP support compiled into the kernel it
ships with?  When trying to make a 128K connection last night, I only got
64K while using an init string known to go 128K with an NEC Aterm 65 (I
have a 75, but the same string *should* work), and found this message
among the normal pppd messages in /var/log/messages:

Dec 24 01:48:38 jq pppd[312]: Unsupported protocol (0x3e00) received

I'm taking a guess that this means the unsupported protocol it received
was MPP and this is why I only had a 64K connection.  Can somebody confirm
this?

If that is the problem and the cure is to rebuild the kernel with MPP
support in it, I need some (extremely detailed) instructions on rebuilding
the RPM for the TurboLinux kernel.  "Extremely detailed" in this case
means "instructions suitable for someone who has never rebuilt a kernel
and doesn't know how to do it at all, so assume nothing :-)  "

Thanks!
