Did you set pppd to be suid root? It probably should be if its not.

You might wanna relink /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS1 .

Is this being called at boot or during pppd initialization? It looks like pppd
initialization, in which case..
look through your pppd scripts and remove references to to these modules. This is
just a warning really,
indicating exactly what it says, and shouldn't be detrimental to your ppp session,
since its only referring to compression modules. You might want to replace the
entries with 'insmod bsd_comp' and 'insmod ppp_deflate' as well as specifying that
you want to use compression in your ppp options file.....your isp may not support
this though. Make sure you look through the pppd man page on how to make entries in
your options file for specifying how to use compression.
