Something got really really screwed up in the installation.

You do not tell us what distro this is. Try
ppp_generic, ppp_async
as modules to load.


Ppp is not in the kernel

/usr/sbin/pppd says:

/usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP.  This could
be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP
was not included in the kernel configuration.  If PPP was included as
a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'.  If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net. See README.linux file in
the ppp distribution for more details.

/sbin/modprobe -v ppp says:
FATAL: Module ppp not found.

Ok. I guess i can not rebuild the kernel.
What other options do i have?
I'm not that fmiliar with linux so please be gentle! ;)

First look in config (/boot/config maybe) to see if PPP is in the
kernel.



Regards,
Sascha
