Upgrade both kernel and ppp; you should probably get at least kernel
2.0.35 and ppp 2.3.5.

Unlikely; much more likely is that you have windoze machines on the
network that are doing DNS requests for NetBIOS name resolution every 15
minutes. A royal pain in the butt. Look in the MS "Knowledge" Base for
info on how to stop them doing that. Which may or may not work.

That's not important; to get rid of it, add the following lines to
/etc/modules.conf:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate

Doesn't matter either (so long as the connection works); it's only
compression negotiation that's failing.
