I fixed the "can't locate module char-major-108" problem by placing the
following entry in /etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic

I found this hint in the ppp documentation (/usr/doc/ppp-XXXXX).

However, that seems unrelated to my ppp problem of:
pppd[30575]: The remote system (ppp0) is required to authenticate itself
but I
pppd[30575]: couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use
to do so.

I'm stumped.  The lights come on but nothing happens.  It's as if ppp is
waiting for permission to begin dialling.

Surely I can't be the only person who's had this problem.  I hope not...
