Have you checked /dev/isdnctrl? It should be a symlink to /dev/isdnctrl0.
There should be a line like:
# ll /dev/isdnctrl
  /dev/isdnctrl -> /dev/isdnctrl0 

I would be interessted if after that the error message is still there?
I assume you have ipppd installed?

Here are the links:

If you try a modprobe/insmod, are there any messages from  the module
when you check with "dmesg"? 
 
I hope I was able to help you!
