I was, until I got Bluetooth DSL access point :).

I used to have PPPoE setup with Speedtouch modem on my Dual Athlon box. It was running 
2.4.18 at that time. Most of the SMP problems were in the ATM code. I fixed some of them 
and my patches went into 2.4.19. I did some hack to the driver itself but those
were minor.
