(No Kernel source etc.) If you really want to use pppd, you will need to compile a kernel with ppp support in it (and hence will need the kernel source). However, you can probably do what you want with IIJPPP instead (/usr/sbin/ppp), which it sounds like you are already using for dial-out ppp. Try 'man ppp' for more info.
