Yeah, install PPP-2.2.0f and run it's configure script, then do a make 
kernel in that dir, then a make all/install (to get the binaries in place).
Also read the README.linux. BINDIR should be /usr/sbin for SlackWare, but
as usual people neglect to tell us their distributions.

Then relink your kernel and off you go..

Cheers, Mike.
