Subject: On PPP launch: modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress

Upon launching pppd with a chatscript (suggested on the iMacLinux site
by Phil Regalia) I'm getting the error messages identified in the
attachment, which is a sample from the /var/log/messages file.
I am using kernel 2.2.6 from on an iMac Rev. B.
Now, what is going on here: PPP support is obviously compiled in the
kernel and my ppp "options" file looks like this (a slight modification
from the Regalia file).
>>>
lock
asyncmap 0
/dev/modem 57600
mru 1500
mtu 1500
crtscts
lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3
defaultroute
<<<
While it doesn't seem to prevent PPP from functioning, the fact
that upon launching I get these messages about ppp-compress seems
suboptimal. Any ideas?
