[lug] ppp dial up server with RH7.2

[Hobbs: Nobuki Matsui]

Dear all,
	I am trying to set up a ppp dial-up server with RH7.2.  I had a
success with RH6.1 before, however it does not work with RH7.2 with the
same settings.  I searched the webs for a solution and I started wondering
if it is a 2.4 kernel issue...  There are some bugs as to ppp in the 2.4
kernel as far as I found, using google.  All the garbage in the log file
and LCP Timeout suggests the computers are having a hard time
negotiating.  Apending 'EXPECT ~' line to the chat.scr would give me a
normal login.
	I wonder if anybody has any suggestions.    

	I am using a USR56KSporster modem for the server and a Motolora
56K Modemsurfer for the client.
Thank you very much for your time.
