Eeeh... since no one reacted to my mail onquestions about ppp on 2.2.2, maybe
this gets close. You are connecting TO a 2.2.2 machine? I can't get that
to work either with a config that worked before.

It (ppp on the 2.2.2 side) falls down with an error about an
inappropriate ioctl, according to ktrace (TIOCMGET on a modem, when I'm
using stdin and stdout...)
