if you cannot run pon/poff as root,
add yourself to the dip group, and group dialout if necessary.
haven't used ppp in ages to be honest.
man 1 adduser
If you were looking for a ppp module it would be called ppp.o not ppp.0 or
ppp.O, and it would be under /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/...
this is only an issue if ppp support is not built into your kernel, you can
insmod it
e.g. insmod /path/to/module.o
modprobe is easier though.
e.g. modprobe module_name
* this does not include .o
so modprobe ppp, not modprobe ppp.o
if modprobe can't find it, try running depmod -a
