rsvx.prg doesn't do anything judging from the source. It renames the
RSVf-cookie to RSVF, but since there's no RSVf-cookie to rename
nothing happens. Perhaps earlier MiNT-versions renamed the RSVF-cookie
to RSVf, but all versions I've used just removes it.

I forced MiNT to copy the RSVF-cookie as well, but even with the
cookie installed (shouldn't matter) pppd (2.2.0f) can't set the
serial-speed:

Sep  5 13:14:10 bluto pppd[152]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Sep  5 13:14:10 bluto pppd[152]: TIOCIBAUD: range error/bad argument 19200
Sep  5 13:14:10 bluto pppd[152]: TIOCOBAUD: range error/bad argument 19200
Sep  5 13:14:32 bluto pppd[152]: TIOCIBAUD: range error/bad argument 19200
Sep  5 13:14:32 bluto pppd[152]: TIOCOBAUD: range error/bad argument 19200
Sep  5 13:14:32 bluto pppd[152]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyb
Sep  5 13:14:36 bluto pppd[152]: local  IP address 129.241.57.174
Sep  5 13:14:36 bluto pppd[152]: remote IP address 129.241.57.9

I have to set the speed with modem.cpx (set to 134, handshaking can't
be set) just as I did with older (before 1.14.3 IIRC) kernels.

~root/.ppprc is empty
/etc/ppp/options:

/dev/ttyb
connect "/usr/etc/chat -v -f /root/.chat-script"
noipdefault
defaultroute
asyncmap 0
-mn

/etc/ppp/options.ttyb:

57600
crtscts

This has worked fine until I installed beta 2.8 a couple of days ago.
