[pptp-server] modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-18

Hello, and thanks for all the help. I am beginning to make progress with
PoPToP, currently using a WinME client. I can log in as long as "Require
Data Encryption" is not selected on the ME client. When I enables, I get a
message that the server does not support encryption. In /var/log/messages, I
get a line that reads

ns1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-18

modules.conf has the following lines:

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

If I try to 
insmod ppp_mppe

I get "no module found by that name"

I applied the mppe patches to the kernel source and recompiled, and to the
ppp-2.4.1 source before ./configure. Evidently, I missed something. Maybe
after patching the kernel source, is there a new option that I am supposed
to enable in menuconfig? If so, I missed it. Any other ideas? Thanks again,
