    I did an "apt-get upgrade" and, now, when I execute "pon", my modem
    won't connect. The modem is seems to be making the same connection
    sounds as before the upgrade; also, the modem is working in Window98.

    I have before/after upgrade records from syslog. After upgrade,
    I notice this message:

        kernel: ttyS: 1 input overrun(s)

    By the way, is there a better mailing list or locate on BTS
    to report this problem? (Because I did an upgrade,
    I don't know which package is giving me trouble.)

    I provide the following information:

        - miscellaneous command-line
        - /etc/ppp/peers/provider
        - successful syslog before the upgrade
        - unsuccessful syslog after the upgrade
