Subject:   version incompatibility?

I never could get 2.0 to boot on my NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI
system.  I finally tried a later kernel, which booted fine.
However, I could never get ppp to work.  A couple of people
suggested this was a version compatibility problem between
the kernel and either libraries or executables.  Not having
a network connection, and not wanting to deal with billions
of floppies, I punted and tried a new Slackware Linux CD,
and everything came up great.  In the meantime, though, I
had found (did you guess?) some modem config problems.

But, I really like BSD!  And I *need* multiple IP addresses
on one ppp server.  So, I need a definitive answer.  or at
least an fairly confident educated guess.  Now that I know my
modem is cinfig'd properly, if I get a later than 2.0 kernel,
will everything work OK without me downloading all the rest
of FreeBSD?  in particular, do you think the pppd will work?

Thanks,
Miles "at wit's end" O'Neal
