Hi Brian,

I looked through my logs, and it seems that only after I unchecked (in
the network protocols dialog box under dial-up networking)...

  1. IPX/SPX compatible protocol support
  2. NetBEUI protocol support

...did the error message stop. I know that pppd supports IPX, but I
haven't gotten around to configuring it. ;-)

Try connecting with only TCP/IP checked in the network protocols dialog
box and see if you still get this error.

Also, from the HOWTO-PoPToP-pre3 document, you can get rid of the "can't
locate module ppp-compress-21" error if you manually load "bsd_comp" and
"ppp_deflate". i.e.

    insmod bsd_comp
    insmod ppp_deflate

... I'm sure there is a way to automate this, but I'm not terribly
familiar with the kernel module stuff.
