There could be a couple of reasons for this:
1.) Firstly, pppd don't dial, chat do .... check for chat.
2.) If you are dialing as a normal user, check permission on pppd and chat,
if they exist,
3.) Check if ppp support is registered in kernel, either compiled in or as
module.... check dmesg, syslog, lsmod or whatever you're comfortable with.
4.) If there is no ppp support at all .... you HAVE to compile the kernel,
I'm afraid.
