John, 

Thanks for the instructions.

When I do the 'modprobe ppp' command there is no response,
just another prompt.

'cat /proc/devices' returns no mention of ppp or similar notations.

'cat /proc/modules' returns the following, in part

ppp             5               0
slhc            2       [ppp]   0

It returns a couple of other lines depending on when you run it, 
but always contains those two.

Does this establish that my kernel is in fact configured for a
ppp connection.

In looking at the debug log it appears that SW is issuing a 
Conf req and I am replying with a Conf rej and then issuing
a Conf req back to SW. Does this point to the potential 
problem by any chance?

Thanks much,

Wayne
