THIS IS THE RESULTS : (I will test it deeper )

1/ download the pack, the URL is :
     
      ftp://zaphod.csci.unt.edu/pub/ppp-2.2-osfpatch1.tgz

2/ uncompress and "untar" it :))

3/ read files README,README.your_operating_system,SETUP and follow
   instructions for your_operating_system (for example README.osf)
   and build new kernel

4/ My modem use speed 9600 K, a part of my table /etc/gettydefs follows
   ( you will have to add similar entry, if your /etc/gettydefs
   doesn't contain it yet ) :

    .
    .
    .
    M2400# B2400 HUPCL CS8 # B2400 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M1200

    M4800# B4800 HUPCL CS8 # B4800 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M1200

    9600# B9600 HUPCL CS8 # B9600 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M9600

    M9600# B9600 HUPCL CS8 # B9600 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M2400
    .
    .
    .

5/ add similar line to inittab

     tty00:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty00 9600 vt100

     then run command init q (see man init)

6/ add new user - you can use command adduser, or insert similar
   line into your /etc/passwd file:

     ppp:8W9B!I4MnAM:103:15:ppp connection:/usr/users/ppp:/usr/bin/pppstart

7/ The file pppstart can seems like this :

   #!/bin/sh
   REMOTEIP=193.165.56.2
   exec /usr/local/etc/pppd 9600 proxyarp crtscts modem netmask 255.255.255.0 passive :$REMOTEIP

 
   You can modify or change these options as you want. Read the manual
   for pppd ( man pppd) !!!
