ppp-compress-21 / bsd_comp.0 problems

[John Klingler]

I'm having an issue with pppd. It can connect and I can get out to the internet, etc., but when pppd connects, in /var/log/messages I see the message:

modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21

I checked for an alias and the following line exists in the file /etc/modprobe.conf.dist (which is included from /etc/modprobe.conf):

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp

The /etc/modules.conf file did not have this alias and I'm not sure which file modprobe uses, so I added the alias to this file as well. That didn't fix things either so I went poking around and bsd_comp.o does not exist on my machine. When I installed, I selected a server install. From there I only added a few things, with the exception of removing X (it's a PPro200 w/ 64MB RAM).

Before you tell me to check the archives, blah blah blah, I tried and it's been down for a while now. The only google results I can find just say to add the alias above, but from the number of hits, it seems like this is a _really_ common problem. Is there some package I missed when I installed? Does anybody know what package this file is in so I can install it?

Thanks,

John Klingler
