Never used modconf, but the modules are in the directory tree under
/lib/modules and I've always maninpulated them by editing /etc/modules
and /etc/modules.conf.
As for ppp, ppp_generic is correct for 2.4.x. I've got

/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_deflate.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.o

ppp_generic is the beastie. The others depend on it.
