slhc.o is the serial line compression routines module. It is required
by ppp.o since ppp data transmission is often compressed.
insmod just tries to load the module; modprobe also tries to
figure out module dependencies (using the file modules.dep created
vi depmod -a) and also loads all modules on which a given module
depends. So if you had tried modprobe ppp, it would have loaded
slhc automatically.

kppp must be executing modprobe.
