     Had the same problems myself  when using a boot disk to bring the
system up.  After a week of trying just about everything I happened to
install lilo on the mbr and the pppd worked like a charm.  Was a little
apprehensive that once I installed lilo that I would never see NT loader
again, but still shows up just fine.  Certainly there has to be a way to
do this off a boot disk, but, I couldn't find it.
