I went through these same problmes last week (see my thread "Playing CDs).
The problem with PPP is that /sbin/pppd needs to be chmod u+s /sbin/pppd
and make sure that /dev/cua0 (or whatever your modem device is) is
chmod 666.
The problem with sound support is that it needs to be compiled in the kernel.
You can 'cat /dev/sndstat to see if it is correctly. If it is, you may need
to chmod 666 /dev/cdrom (or whatever your cdrom device is).
At least those were how I solved them.
