Upgrade to the newest version of pppd. Then add a /dev/ppp device, and if
building as modules, add entries to /etc/modules.conf. It's all explained
in Documentation/Changes.

I'm not sure which tree the right version of pppd will be in. IIRC, a
version compiled on a 2.2 system won't work properly on 2.4 (because of the
massive overhaul to PPP in 2.4). You may have to compile pppd from source
too.
