re: ppp for FreeBSD 2.0

I have no kernel support for pppd and no idea how to do rebuild the kernel.
I don't have the hard disk space for the entire src distribution but I could load
selected directories if I new what source is required to re-build the kernel
( and the procedure to do it).

All in all,  I think the easiest route is to get hold of iijppp which I've have seen
described in postings in this newsgroup.  Yes, I've looked for /usr/sbin/ppp;
any package on the CD which includes the string ppp in the description; and for
ppp source directories on the CD.  No luck.

Is there a web or ftp site out there with this stuff?

thanks, Glenn
