Thank you Paul, this is perfect answer. I tested it only with 2.4.21 kernel
until now. So I have to upgrade my system to 2.6.x to have this basic fature.
I missed that update in ppp_async.c. Looks good! Is there any reason why it
was not backported to 2.4, 2.2, 2.0 yet? This modification is in 2.6 kernel
for several months now (from 2.6.1?).
 
Thanks for yor help,
Petr
