Unlikely: PPP is in the base system and pppd is part of it.
Quite right: I do have it.

How did you try to configure it? _Exactly_ what did you do and _exactly_
what happened?
I honestly have no idea what that was all about.

/etc/ppp/ is where the configuration files for PPP are kept. Pppd is in
/usr/sbin/.
Yes, I found it and it generaly says that my permission is denied
(despite the fact that in the konsole, I used su so that I was the
root. I think, yes?

I think you are confused.
Indeed I was.

Run pppconfig as root, follow the instructions, and tell us _exactly_ what
happens.
I ran it. I created a new connection. Dynamic IP, Chap (I went on
the web-site and it would seem to me that it uses both), login,
password, 115200. Now, I do not have an intereior modem: I've an
ethernet card. This is why I use pppoeconf, which always worked in
Knoppix.
I think, though, that the following is more important.
I printed the ifconfig from knoppix when I was properly connected.
Then, I ran ifconfig in Debian. It turns out that every thing is the
same (eth0, lo) save the ppp0: It isn't there. When I run ifconfig
ppp0, it says: ppp0: error fetching information: Device not found. I
think that this is the problem: The ppp0. What can I do?
Danke.
