In the latest (and probably previous) SW versions, pppd is a file on the
N set on disk 1.  It's in a package called ppp.tgz along with other
stuff used to make a complete item.  Would suggest getting PPP-HOWTO
and NET-2-HOWTO from /pub/Linux/docs/howto on sunsite (I haven't changed
mine since a friend set it up, so no wisdom to share).

You can get the 1.2.13 source from /pub/Linux/kernels on sunsite and
upgrade using that (or you can probably get patches if you prefer; I
stick with complete upgrades).  Also get the Kernel-HOWTO along with
those listed above; use it in conjunction with the README stuff in
the kernel release.
