In the file linux/Documentation/Changes, you can find the following
PPP
---
The PPP driver has been restructured to support multilink and to
enable it to operate over diverse media layers. If you use PPP,
upgrade pppd to at least 2.4.0b1.
So I believe that he new version of PPP is needed if you want to PPP
under 2.4.0.
