ppp-2.4.2 need to be hacked a bit to be used with libpcap-0.8.3 as it include originaly header from libpcap-0.7.2 ppp-2.4.3 has updated header but need a more recent version than libpcap-0.8.3 to be used to support the new DLP_PPPWITHDIRECTION I have tested ppp-2.4.3 and libpcap-0.8.3. It connect without dial and demand. Dial on demand does not work, pppd dies without an error message. I have not tested persist option with ppp-2.4.3. I don't know more.
