I sent this solution as a patch to Linus (via Alan) a couple of weeks ago.
At that time, the current kernel was 1.2.5.
The patch which I sent is available on ftp.netcom.com in the directory
/pub/lo/longyear/linux. It is along with the "16" channel support for PPP.
If you do get the patch from netcom, please expect the reject files when the
patch is included in the distribution kernel.
The solution is to add the missing type to the /usr/include/linux/ppp.h
header file. The following should be added near the top of the file:
typedef unsigned long ext_accm[8];
