Sorry for the late reply..
I've messed around with my system a lot since then (nothing particulrly
related to ppp, and also no Kernel or glibc changes), but now when I try to
run pppd it runs correctly.
When I did have the problem, modprobe failed saying that I do not have a ppp
module, and of course lsmod didn't show a ppp module loaded.
I'm really interested in the notion that ipppd (which AFAIK is just a
modified pppd) doesn't require ppp support in the kernel (whether that exist
or not), while pppd does.
looking at my system now, I see that I have a net/ppp.o , and since I
changed none, I guess it was there all along :-)
