IIRC it is ppp_generic (an underscore is usual for these things). Also you
should make sure you have a /dev/ppp device. If you don't, you will need to
create it with mknod or download the latest dev package for your distro.

The mknod command ought to be:

mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

(it's a character device not a block device with major number 108 and minor
number 0).
