I would guess ppp is available as a kernel loadable module. I'll assume
you've
installed from a standard distribution, like redhat. ppp doesn't have to
be in
the kernel itself.

use lsmod to list the loaded modules. if ppp isn't there then try modprobe
ppp
and lsmod again. If it appears, then all you haven't done is configured the
link,
which will depend on your distribution, could be linuxconf or some kde
based
pppdialer. need more info really.
