I'm seeing ppp problems with kernel 2.2.x.  The specific symptom is
bitching about failed TCIOGET-nantoka-kantoka.  (I can dig it out if
there are any wizards who want to see.)  I do not even get to dial
out, there's a modem control problem.  The same setup works fine with
2.0.3x.

I have not gotten around to rebuilding pppd against 2.2.x headers, but
I suspect that might cure the problem.  Has anybody tried that yet?
(BTW, my pppd is the standard one that comes with Debian "potato.")  I 
suspect the recent mucking around with the ioctl and pioctl code may
have changed things.
