For some unknown reason, my "Vanilla" RedHat install totally screwed PPP.
After at much frustration, Clifford Kite gave me the answers. Why RedHat
didn't get this right is beyond me....

So, first it turns out that the critical lines in conf.modules were not
there:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp-deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

Second, it seems that VJ compression is having some sort of problem... So,
the final fix was to change /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 to
include this line: PPPOPTIONS=-vj

Another "gotcha" was that Clifford pointed out that the latest version of
ppp is like 2.3.10. Like a dummy, I went to linux.org HOWTOs to get (what
I though would be the latest)... But that turned out not to be the
problem....

So, thanks again for bearing with me!
