Hi again!
Well, maybe you could update ppp anyway? If you do, your /etc/modules.conf
should look something like this:
...
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
...
Regards,
Ake
