Now I can report a clean, more or less, well ppp operation.

As I wrote, it always works on the first try.
It sometimes fials on the second and following tries with 2.2.15pre19.
It always works with the 2.2.15pre3 which does not have ir support build
in.

I'm not sure, is it possible to disable IR in the kernel build? worth a try.

If wvdialconf scans the ir port ttyS1 on 2.2.15pre19, die machine bombs.

have you tried with something other than wvdial? (which I don't know), I
use netcfg.

wvdail cannot open /dev/ttyS0 twice with 2.2.51pre19.
After I ctrl-ced wvdial to interrupt the network connection
I get an I/O error when I try to open it again.

Do you have the module option in char/devices/serial on? (dumb serial device)

Not that I know of. I admit that I have to learn a bit more about
kernel configuration to be sure, though.

This makes only sense when you have a pcmcia/cadbus modem.

Most interestingly right now I cannot reproduce the I/O error.
So it works, most of the time. I hate this kind of errors.
So a hardware problem is still possible with this machine.
