You should configure your kernel with PPP as module, check you have
bsd_comp.o in /lib/modules/VERSION/net, and that maybe your /etc/conf.modules
is correctly configured.

So, basically, as bsd_compr.o was not loadable, compression was not negociated.
That's a minor problem. Your PPP connection presumably works:

PS: I really think that all those Linux/PPP questions belong to
the linux-net and linux-ppp mailing-lists. This is not mgetty business.
It's already quite difficult to keep up with vgetty's problems.
