The lack of a ppp-compress is not your problem.

Translating 72 and 63 to characters you get "rc" . This is likely the
first two characters in "rcvd" which pppd prefixes to received messages it
logs with debug option. These messages are being returned to pppd from
someplace that got them and pppd barfs on them since they aren't PPP
protocol messages.
I've seen this happen when kppp is being used; the messages were sent to
the ISP which sent them back with it's own Protocol-Reject. There was no
doubt that this acutally happened. How RH has managed to this I can't say.
