There is a kernel part that can't be installed independantly from your
kernel and a userspace part compiled from ppp sources.
Depending of your distribution, you may change the kernel package installed
for one that support ppp or you will need to recompile that kernel version
sources to accomodate your needs and hardware.
For the kernel part, you need to set ppp support on your kernel .config,
recompile, install the new compiled kernel and reboot.
