PPP setup

Okay, I got all my installation issues worked out.. and now Intimate
boots just fine. Without X. Without... anything. So, I went to
configure PPP so that I could send some stuff over and make it more
useful than a pretty penguin and "Setting up device nodes..."

I added defaultroute and silent to /etc/ppp/options. No dice. Chmod'd
/sbin/pppd. Nothing. Added slhc, ppp_async, and ppp_generic to
/etc/modules. Didn't work. Here's what I get when I try to PPP:

Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.

When I modprobed alhc, ppp_async, and ppp_generic, here is the error I got:

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk3/modules.dep (No)

File is there, permissions are good. I tried all three to be safe even
though I could tell its a global modules problem, not just those three.
 Still can't PPP.

Any ideas?

Here is all my PC-side information:

/usr/bin/conipaq, my little connection script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Setting up IP Forwarding..."
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.111.21/32
iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.111.21/32 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.111.21/32 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "Starting PPPD Connection with IPAQ..."
pppd call ipaq
echo "Flusing IP Tables..."
iptables --flush

/etc/ppp/peers/ipaq:

-detach
noauth
nocrtscts
lock
user ppp
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 ogin--login: ppp'
/dev/ttyS0
115200
192.168.111.20:192.168.111.21

Thanks in advance.
