If the messages bother you, you can silence them by putting either
this:

        alias char-major-108 ppp

...or this:

        alias char-major-108 off

..in your /etc/conf.modules file.  (The former is what we are using
and seems to work; the latter was some other suggestion which I never
tried.)

Try "grep -C 108 /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt".
