I am using kernel 2.4.1, ppp2.4.0b4. I did get that error before. I think I
did something wrong, but I didn't know where, but my pppd does not
understand those options. I even used strings to find inside pppd, and my
pppd binary did not contains mppe-40, mppe-128 .... So I changed the
Makefile in the pppd directory, commented out the two lines ifdef MPPE and
endif , so that the line CFLAGS += -DMPPE=1 becomes active, and recompiled
again.
This time my pppd binary did understand those options.
