On the matter of the hanging connects, I agree with Hauge Jans reply that
this is most likely a nameserver configuration issue. Not that I'm an
expert on DNS, but the symptoms are characteristic of timeouts on a tcpd
lookup (see 'man tcpd').

This is a common problem and FAQ, but not related to your connection
problem. PPP cannot find the deflate and BSD compress modules. You need
to add aliases to /etc/conf.modules to support this capability. The
following entries will do so and suppress those warnings:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
Good luck!
