Read the file Documentation/Changes.  PPP changed between 1.2.13 and 2.0.0
and the old user space ppp programs are incompatible with the 2.0.0 kernel's
ppp implementation.  Upgrade to ppp2.2.0f which can be found at
ftp://ftp.dstc.edu.au/pub/Linux/system/Network/serial/ppp/ppp-2.2.0f.tar.gz

Remember, if you have problems with anything else, read Documentation/Changes
because everything that broke between 1.2.13 and 2.0.0 is listed there with
a pointer to where to get a working version.
