yes, I redid everything since I posted last. I remade ppp-2.3.7.
and also ran make kernel, which _did_ update somes file in the kernel
source
I also rebuilt the kernel, cleanly and remade the modules. I ran
depmod -aed while running the new kernel and received no output.

yes, and in fact the slhc and ppp modules are listed in lsmod, I can
let kmod load them when I start pppd or load them myself. But I
continue to get the following error:
bash# ppp-go
bash# /usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP.
This could be because the PPP kernel module is not loaded, or
because the kernel is not configured for PPP. See the
README.linux file in the ppp-2.3.7 distribution.
again, I've had the same results with ppp-2.3.5, and ppp-2.3.7
one question: the newest version of ppp at sunsite is 2.3.4. is
this the most stable? Where is the current-stable release kept?
I'm going to attempt to downgrade to this version to see if it helps
anything.
