[ale] ppp & confusion

[RHS Linux User]

Dear Sir/ Madame , 
I am a newbie at linux redhat . I want to use minicom to establish ppp
connection .
There is one statement in the ppp how to that is confusing me . It is as
follows:-
" In order to use PPP, you must configure the kernel to include PPP
support (PPP requires BOTH
pppd AND kernel support for PPP)."
I have compiled ppp support in my kernel and the booting message shows
so.But how do I include or add pppd or a loadable modules when I have
compiled it in my kernel itself ?
Can you Please enlighten me ? 
I will be very grateful for your help .
