Thats weird...
Ive installed 5.3 about 12x and never had to build a kernel for ppp or
slipfirewall or masqurading (for diald).
I remember when I first installed suse in oct 98 and had similar ppproblems
I began to wonder if it was in the kernel as well. I beleive I posted here
and was told by someone from suse that ppp was in the kernel.
afaik ppp slip fw and ip masq are all included in the stock "IDE" kernel
upon install.
looking at the suse 5.3 manual pg 268 it says " IF you compile a kernel make
sure you include ppp"
I read that as if you redo your kernel be sure to *include* ppp--- Although
It dosnt come rite out and say its included by default.
At any rate I beleive a simple test such as typing in pppd as root should
give you a bunch of caracter gibberish if indeed you have pppd
