If you're using kernel 2.4, there's a lot you need to know about PPP.
1) you need a /dev/ppp:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 108, 0 Jul 13 2000 /dev/ppp
2) if you want ppp compiled in, you need to make sure you don't have
module info set on your modules (don't ask me why this is, but that's how
it was dating back to the beginning of 2.4 or so)
3) Make sure you also selected sync or async line support (based on your
needs).
4) The following is what I had to add to get ppp under 2.4 going on the
module end (this applies even if you have everything statically linked)
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21 off
alias ppp-compress-24 off
alias ppp-compress-26 off
Hope this helps.
