You dont have the choose, you must make boot, then make modules, then make
modules_install. The module name is bsd_comp.o i think.
You can try to pass the 'novj' option to pppd which disable vjc compression.

I noticed also that when /dev/modem links /dev/ttySx there was more problems
than /dev/modem -> /dev/cuax.

For me (sx164), the vj compression make the kernel to panic.
I disabled jv comp and all goes fine. Very strange.
