[iPAQ] Familiar v0.3 and ppp

I've updated my iPAQ to Familiar v0.3 from v0.2 and now have the problem
that trying to start ppp from my workstation to the iPAQ results in this
failure message:

LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.

ppp used to work before I upgraded from v0.2 to v0.3. I had no major
configuration changes on the v0.2 install and deleted the old "flash
backup" file so as to start from a clean slate with v0.3.

I *can* log into the iPAQ with minicom, so I know its alive and
responding. logging in as the 'ppp' user starts pppd on the iPAQ.

I don't find many references to the above error on search engines of
those I do, there's no satisfactory resolution.

Any ideas?
