I discovered my big mistake: 'make install' only put pppd in /usr/sbin
directory, but my script calls /usr/lib/ppp/pppd, the old pppd
version. :) Everything is going ok now. Just one more thing:
fcntl_setlk() called by process 62(lpd) with broken flock() emulation.
This message comes in dmesg. What should it be?

Thanks
