The installation process was fairly quick and painless, and Greg's book is rather informative. Unfortunately, when setting up kernel PPP, I found some sort of version incompatibility between the installed pppd and the one documented in the book. I would have asked the editor/publisher to track this down as errata, except that I really want the latest and greatest pppd, so I figured you'd know that and they wouldn't. My pppd doesn't understand 'deflate' 'demand' and 'idle'. Is there a way for me to get the correct pppd that does? What's the simplest approach? I have very little invested yet in local configuration, and no user base, so I can make radical changes if necessary.
