So, ppp has to build into the kernel? Can not run otherwise?
Send an ticket to the provider ... Maybe he knows ...
No, it can be a module as well. But your system has no modules, which is
very very weird. (Or did you forget to look as root, rather than as a
user?)
So as root, do
rpm -Uhv --force kernel-?????.rpm
To reinstall the kernel, if it is really true that there are no modules.
(but first log on as root, and make sure that there really are no modules
for your kernel.

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.

Sascha
