 pppd and chat are in /usr/sbin on my system as well. A downloaded 
package didn't move anything and the only corruption was from my

 I moved /usr over to another disk and now I only have to use dselect 
with the ftp access mode to snag the files I want to install.

 It's sadly slow though on this 28.8 link, wish I had a CD-Rom :(
