2.0 release.

Now that my modem is being found 99% of the time on startup...and I have
been using minicom to dialout...

I've begun using PPP, and have been experiencing the mysterious crashes
that I read about a while ago.

Unfortunately my news server seems to have swallowed the articles dealing
with the problem.


1) Did someone actually resolve the problems with the PPP related crashes?
