Thanks for your help. I had noticed these modules, as well as slhc.o which
has something to do with header compression, but I had not idea of which
kernel request would match which module. Did you get these with a modprobe
-c ? I think I tried this but did not get the aliases you mention (I have
modutils 2.1.121, kernel 2.2.13 & pppd 2.3.10).
Anyway I'll try that.
BTW has anybody an idea about what performance gain can be achieved with
these modules, given that the modems also make use of compression
algorithms ?

Hope this will help.
the defaults of the modprobe command are:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
