You didn't use 'make config' or 'make xconfig'? When you recompiled
the kernel did you make modules and modules-install? You know, the
PPP module depends on others (can't think of them offhand).

Did you need to compile from source? The stock binary includes
AUTO_PPP support.

If mgetty is respawning, something larger than ppp is probably wrong--
it would never have a chance to take a login? Perhaps something you
did to the config is causing this. Did you change the config file?
Did you look in /var/log/mgetty/* for error messages?

I'll try. I use mgetty/ppp all the time. Never compiled mgetty
myself.
