Nothing does and you're doing nothing wrong.  It would appear that ppp
broke at some point with sysinstall, and I'm not exactly sure why
though what I am sure of is that the process startup code for it looks
fishy..  It might have worked (like oh so much else in sysinstall)
only by sheer chance in 2.0.5, adn I've now gone back and
significantly revamped that bit of code.  I'm testing it now!
