I got the clue to add the following to /etc/modules.conf, which solved
my problem. I would like to echo the question of where this is
documented:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

I do have a followup. I'm also getting the following module message
which totally flummoxed me. I knew there was an alias documented
somewhere I could use to turn on the magic. I didn't even know there
WAS a module for /dev/ttyS0!

Jan 13 15:12:28 localhost pppd[263]: Starting link
Jan 13 15:13:00 localhost pppd[263]: Serial connection established.
Jan 13 15:13:01 localhost pppd[263]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
