[ale] ppp help please?

[Nomad the Wanderer]

I got ppp-2.3.5, followed the readme, recompiled my 106 kernel, and installed
it.  I can't compile the pppd though, as it has alot of syntax errors on
the structs and such (I'm not a programmer).  However, I have a glibc binary
that appears to work.  When I envoke my scripts against my Bitsurfer Pro
ISDN adapter, I get this:

After this attempt, I have to re-start my box completely in order for the
chat script to be able to touch the ISDN adapter.  I watch the lights as
it's an external so I know it's not able to access it.

Anyone have any ideas?
