At one time (a _long_ time ago) I had ppp working under 0.9.  Unfortunately,
I didn't save any of this work.  Before -current had diverged too far from 0.9,
I snagged a copy of ppp from it, and was able to back-port it to 0.9.

I don't think you're going to have anything that just works out of the box
under 0.9.  I would guess that the 386bsd instructions are the closest.
