+character device (108,0). If you are using devfs, the device
+filesystem, the /dev/ppp node will automagically appear when the
+ppp_generic module is loaded, or at startup if ppp_generic is compiled
+in.
+
+If you have ppp_generic as a module, and you are using devfsd (the
+devfs daemon), you will need to add a line like this to your
+/etc/devfsd.conf:
+
+LOOKUP ppp MODLOAD
+
+Otherwise you will need to create a /dev/ppp device node with the
+commands:
+
+# mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
+# chmod 600 /dev/ppp
