>Environment:

PC with ISDN connection (bisdn-0.97, bisdntest-3) via ppp

>Description:

It seems the ppp interface doesnt count output packets.
The connection works normally, but only the input packet
count ever increments in the netstat -i display.

>How-To-Repeat:

Obvious from netstat -i.

>Fix:
        
The following fix has been in use for some time and does
not cause ill side effects.  There may be a better solution,
I am not really a kernel hacker.
