This is true. We were forced to switch to the polling method as well.

Only the PP_OPT_GETCURRENTSTATE call work.
This is a documented problem although I don't remember where we found the
answer. The solution is to modify the initialization of the TOption and
TOptMgmt structures. On both structures you need to set the len member
to the full size of the buffer instead of just the size of the TOption
structure. Just use the same value you use for maxlen.
After making this change our PPP status problems on X went away and things
still worked beautifully on 9.
Hope this helps,
