Do not recompile the kernel. Everything you need is already there.
a) make sure that you are running kerneld. (ps aux|grep kerneld)
(make sure that the files in /etc/rc.d/rc[3-5].d mnamely S01kerneld are
soft links to /etc/rc.d/init.d/kerneld and that file exists.
Then run /etc/rc.d/init.c/kerneld start
Finally run /usr/sbin/pppd to see if it runs (never mind any error
message except the one that says ppp not in the kernel. That just means
that kerneld is not running)

b) Make sure that /usr/sbin/pppd is mode rwsrxrx ( chmod 4755
/usr/sbin/pppd as root)

Now you have to get it up and running. The easiest way may be to use
linuxconf in the networking section. Then you can run ifup ppp0 to start
ppp

And /sbin/ifdown ppp0 to break the connection :-)
