/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt :

108 char        Device independent PPP interface
                  0 = /dev/ppp          Device independent PPP interface

Men hvilken kerne ?
Øjensynlig bikser du med ny pppd til nye kerner eller ny kerne 2.3.x ?

Fra http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html :
  On the 2.3.9 and 2.3.10 versions of pppd, the message 
  modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108 
  is displayed in the log file. Ignore this. These versions of pppd use some new features of the ppp kernel drivers in the development kernels on
  linux if they are available. This message says ppp cannot find these features. This is fine as these versions of ppp also work perfectly well with
  the older (2.0.x and 2.2.x) kernels. 

Se også http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9908.1/0672.html
og http://linuxwww.db.erau.edu/mail_archives/linux-kernel/Aug_99/1573.html

Med pppd 2.3.5 og kerne 2.2.13 virker alt fint, så man behøver
ikke rode med nyere versioner af pppd uden at man bør gemmenlæse
dokumentationen og kernel-developer URL's.
