Installing PPPD (Point to Point Protocol Daemon)
I have downloaded pppd (ppp-2.4.0.tar.gz) from here ,but I dont exactly how to install it.Should I just unpack it an execute these command?:
./configure
make
make install
Can anyone tell me how to install it,or give me a link to a tutorial about it.

Just unpacking it and configure+make+make-installing it will get it installed, but you will then need to set it up so it works with your machine, and GNu/Linux up so it uses it as you want it to.

Question
Just curious as to why the headache with PPPD? I know first how big of a headache that can be and that is why I was thrilled when RH came out with a great GUI to do the same thing. And KDE has a nice that I currently use at home called kppp.
Any reason none of these tools aren't being used?

Just curious.

yes. the reason is that these tools only work AFTER pppd has been installed successfully
