You can find files with the locate command

locate filename

pppd is the ppp daemon that you need and it is likely that mgetty is not installed yet.

mgetty+sendfax config files are usually in /etc/mgetty+sendfax/, but check for documentation or your install in /usr/share/doc/mgetty????

ppp config files are normally in /etc/ppp/

With RedHat one way to find out which rpm you need to install is to install the RPM Database. It is on Source Code Disk 3 under SRPMS.

rpm -ivh rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030227.src.rpm

Then a command like

rpm --redhatprovides mgetty

Should tell you which package it is in.
