This info depends just of version of kernel part of pppd. My kernel
with comiled in pppd 2.3.5 part reports:
PPP: version 2.3.5 (demand dialling)
TCP compression code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of
California
PPP line discipline registered.

I don't know about 2.1.x kernels, but 2.0.x kernels are distributed
with kernel part from pppd 2.2.0f. This basically works with pppd
2.3.5 daemon (I tried it with 2.0.33 kernel), but I'm not sure that
it's correct work. Looks like (latest?) 2.1.x kernels are made step
ahead and there is pppd 2.3.3 kernel part. Anyway, I think most
correct way is to download pppd 2.3.5 sources and recompile kernel
with appropriate kernel part of pppd. But you have to patch pppd
2.3.5 sources. Or use pppd 2.3.3, which match to kernel part.

Sorry, my omission. Fortunately there is link to Linux page directly

But you compiled with pppd 2.3.3 kernel part and use pppd 2.3.5. I
don't know, how correct it is, though probably basically it must work.
