I'm 100% sure that the files match!, so the problem isnt there. although
minicom does a strang thing:

When i connect through minicom, and i need to log in in with  a user and
pass, I get some unkown chars befor i can connect.

here is an example:

username: .ta

As you see the username starts with something that i have no clue about (if
it should be there, well i dont know :)

There isnt much more detailed log i can show you. The connection stops with
the 'chat' program (it exits, so pppd exits). I used the -v option in the
chat program. If there is a way too show more detailed logs , please tell me
and i'll post them here.

You said IRQ conflic, please explain more.

thanks,
