if you read linux/Documentation/Changes, it explains why ppp will not work,
and what needs to be done.
and I quote:
If you are not using devfs, you must have the device file /dev/ppp
which can be made by:
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
as root.
If you build ppp support as modules, you will need the following in
your /etc/modules.conf file:
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 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
If you use devfsd and build ppp support as modules, you will need
the following in your /etc/devfsd.conf file:
