*************
That should be protocol 47 (gre) and port 1723 not port 47 and 1723.

If you haven't done so already, add the following to your /etc/conf.modules
file to eliminate the above message and others.

alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
alias tty-ldisc-3     ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14    ppp_synctty
alias char-major-108  ppp_generic
