I don't know how relevant it is for now, but excerpting from the ppp-2.3.4
README:

* Until now, we have been using the number 24 to identify Deflate
compression in the CCP negotiations, which was the number in the draft
RFC describing Deflate. The number actually assigned to Deflate is
26. The code has been changed to use 26, but to allow the use of 24
for now for backwards compatibility. (This can be disabled with the
`nodeflatedraft' option to pppd.)

Bye,
Luca
