[pptp-server] ppp in kernel - built-in or module?

greetings,

i've been doing all my pptp work with linux by recompiling ppp
as a module, rather than as a built-in component (which is my
preference).

i noticed in a much earlier revision of pptpd/ppp/kernel that if
i didn't build it as a module, i didn't get all the appropriate
compression modules - i assumed that they would be built in,
but i had problems with ppp_mppe not being included (i assume
due to the kernel patch of ppp not being designed for this)

can i compile the kernel (2.2.18) with ppp built in? or am i
being silly and should be compiling as a module?

i'd like some feedback on the reasons.

thanks in advance everyone

cheers, Wiz!!
