I printed the ifconfig from knoppix when I was properly connected. Then, I ran ifconfig in Debian. It turns out that every thing is the same (eth0, lo) save the ppp0: It isn't there.

Danke.

How did you try to configure it? _Exactly_ what did you do and _exactly_
what happened?

/etc/ppp/ is where the configuration files for PPP are kept. Pppd is in
/usr/sbin/.

I think you are confused.
Indeed I was.

Run pppconfig as root, follow the instructions, and tell us _exactly_ what
happens.
