Here it is exactly the same behaviour.

No, it doesn't work.

Here, the error-log says "the kernel is not configured for PPP or the
kernel modules are not loaded."
I've set

CONFIG_PPP=y
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_COMPRESS=m

so the kernel-support for PPP should be there, but it isn't.

Greetings, Heinz.
