Problems with ppp connection

Hi !

Is there anyone who could help me ?

My ppp connections hangs when I'm using the 2.2 kernels (tested 2.2.0,
2.2.1, 2.2.6). Sometimes just for seconds, sometimes for minutes.

I haven't had this problem with 2.0.36.

I've tried the following without success:
- updated to ppp 2.3.7
- updated to Netscape Communicator 4.5 (what I'm using my ppp for)
- disabled Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header compression with option
novj

dmesg gives the following messages:
PPP BSD Compression module registered
PPP Deflate Compression module registered

And at boot time I get a message that I don't understand:
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

The error messages in syslog file looks like this:

I'm not on this mailing list, so Cc to me would be nice.
