BH> My "make xconfig" options for PPP are:-

BH> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support [m]
BH> PPP multilink support (EXPRIMENTAL) [n]
BH> PPP filtering [disabled]
BH> PPP support for aync serial ports [m]
BH> PPP support for sync tty ports [n]
BH> PPP Deflate compression [m]
BH> PPP BSD-Compress compression [m]
BH> PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL) [n]
BH> PPP over ATM (EXPERIMENTAL) [m]
If the machine is about to be connected oftenly, it's a waste of time and
diskspace to compile them as modules. Compile them as built-in the kernel.
My internet machine have them compiled built-in and never had any problem.
I have all of the PPP options though.. I use PPPoE and sync tty support is
mandatory for PPPoE (I don't know if it's needed for PPPoA).
Try to compile them as built-in.
