As a matter of fact... there is a way to automate the above. Add the
following to /etc/conf.modules. I'm running RH6.0. I found this info a
few months ago on one of the search engines. The only confusing part was
some folks said to alias ppp-compress-21 and 24 to bsd_comp and others
used slhc for 21. I'm not an expert with pppd, but my log files seem to
indicate that the modules are being properly loaded using slhc when I
connect to my Linux box over dialup using my laptop (NT40). Same results
using PopTop. It would be nice to understand which combination is
correct!!

Anyway, hope this helps
