ppp working fine under kernel 2.2.2 here, only difference is that I
compiled it as a module instead of into the kernel. I do have one error
notice that pops up, the ppp connection works fine as long as I just
dial into my ISP, but once I right-click on a file to download, I
receive an error of "execv /usr/sbin/in.identd: No such file or
directory". This error only occurs once, then does not appear again
until I shut down my computer, restart it, make another ppp connection,
and again right-click on a file to download it. I can download many
files and only receive the error once. 

I do have all of the updates from Redhats kernel-2.2 directory
installed, and have had no other problems with kenel 2.2.2.
