Hi Mark, although with some differences i have the same behaviour, i
have /etc/ppp/options with
modem
crtscts
debug
proxyarp
and i launch /usr/bin/pppd -detach to start connection., As in your
case i can see connection estabilished looking in /var/adm/messages
and in /var/adm/syslog, but no ping from both side. Since i call the
Linux box from a Win3.11 client with winsock tcp/ip stack i can see
ppp: frame check error each ping packet coming from linux, it seem
that the ppp frame format does not complies with one used by oder
side. Either the client and the Linux box perform right when calling
an external interne provider with the same setup. I suppose that is
something wrong in the kernel code driver or in the external pppd.
Try to increase debug leve placing in the /etc/ppp/options the
declaration "kdebug 6" to dump out each frame sent or received.
If you ping from Linux or from Client you can see the raw data passed
to the interface by doing "dmesg". Check if something differ.
Please let me informed of your experiments, i will do the same.

Best Regards :-) Fabio.
