pppd woes...

["Eloy F. Macha" <emacha@NMSU.Edu>]

Hello,
 after compiling 1.3.81 kernel, i have made ppp and slip as modules. I 
have configured the options and ppp-connect files for my ppp connection.( 
btw, i'm using the unstable packages (1.1).)
Run pppd and this is what i get in syslog:
Apr  3 17:29:54 peru pppd[223]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Apr  3 17:30:24 peru pppd[223]: Serial connection established.
Apr  3 17:30:25 peru pppd[223]: Using interface ppp0

Apr  3 17:32:28 peru pppd[233]: Fatal signal 11
Apr  3 17:32:28 peru pppd[233]: Exit.


(ignore the ip#)
that is the problem, the Fatal signal 11s.

why? what does this mean? 

Also, when using minicom as a non-root user, after dialing from the 
<Ctrl>-<A> D menu, i get a Got signal 11 message, and exits out to a prompt.
any ideas??

Thanks,
