Hi. I ran into the same problem. So after searching the mail archives I found a letter mentioning that this could be fixed by setting a larger buffer under route.c. In line 360 of the 2.1.5 code, the line read: struct ifreq reqbuf[32]; so I increased it to read 320: struct ifreq reqbuf[320]; after recompiling this fixed my problem and 16 modems are running on my system and ppp works fine. I'm not sure this relates to solving your problem but try it out.
