Get ppp-2.3.7 at
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/
It's the latest, better and doesn't have the problem. There were nasty
problems related to installation and kernel versioning in 2.3.5 and in
2.3.4 too I think. The availability of ppp-2.3.7 makes explanations of
these problems in previous versions irrelevant.
