Thanks for the info.  I finally got it working... here's what I did:
Install ppp-2.3.11-4-MPPE_MSCHAP.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpm -bb ppp.spec
compile kernel source from src.rpm
install 2.2.17-14 kernel from kernel-source-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ppp-2.3.11/linux
./kinstall.sh
./kinstall.sh.mpee_kernel_2217
./kinstall.sh.mppe
(I wasn't sure if I needed to do any one in particular or all three, so I 
did all three)
cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux
cp if_ppp.old.h if_ppp.h
(because the #define PPP_MAGIC wasn't in the newer copy but is in the old one)
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
cp -p configs/kernel-2.2.17-i686.config arch/i386/defconfig
make menuconfig
editted the Makefile to give me a specific version by changing EXTRAVERSION
make dep bzImage
cp -p arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-vpn
cp -p System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.17-vpn
make clean
make modules
make modules_install
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.17-vpn 2.2.17-vpn

And that works.  I'm going to try it again to make sure I have the 
procedure down right, and so I can tweak the whole process a bit.

I'm also going to try your suggestion, Dougal.

Thanks for your help!
