RH 6.0 / Modem Problem

[maitre at ccs.neu.edu (Brad Noyes)]

Correct me if i'm wrong anyone, But think that you can get rid of this problem
by adding these three lines to your /etc/modules.conf file

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate 
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate 

Hope this helps,
-Brad
