Oh, ok. Never mind. ;-)

I've seen pppd report errors indicating something, but the problem was
really something else. For example, pppd will say something like "this
kernel lacks ppp support" when the problem is actually no tty device. This
might be something similar.
Anyway, why are you trying to use ppp 2.3? I don't think that demand
dialing works properly with the 2.0.x kernel. It works with the latest
2.1.x kernels, but there is still no way to select which packets activate
the link.

That should be all you need, it worked for me.

Everyone's gotta learn sometime. ;-) I don't think that changing to ppp
2.3 is a trivial excercise.
