What's the file date of the 'install' and what files did you use (install.sit
or the floppy image)? What's the file date of the kernel image (linux)? 
Did you replace any of the files with more recent versions ??

Please post the exact error message. And if the kernel image is still
the 
original one, check if it really supports modules. If a kernel supports 
modules, there's going to be a /proc/modules file or directory. If that one's
missing, no module support so stop fooling around with modules.

If dpkg installed pppd, the ownership etc. are correct. At least, it
Works For 
Me (Tm). Not on a Mac, but there's no big difference.
