The pppd on my FreeBSD system always gives me the error message like
"PPP is not available on this system".  I have no idea where to look 
at next...  A friend of mine has suggested me to "reconfigure" the 
kernel, but I also don't have any idea for it.  Would anyone know
the solution for this?  (I've tried the script which comes with 
/usr/share/FAQ/PPP.doc file (dialing up with kermit) and a script
which uses `chat').  I need help really fast because this account 
will expire pretty soon...  Answers/suggestions through e-mail would
be appreciated.  

Thanks!
