did you install pppd-2.4.0? And according to the README.linux file you need to
create a /dev/ppp device if you don't have one.
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
chmod 600 /dev/ppp
and you have to edit your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules to contain the
following:
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias char-major-108 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
That should do it.
