You have at least a couple of problems:

There's your first problem. Either you don't have the module you need, or
insmod can't find it. Usually you should be using modprobe anyway -
modprobe knows about module dependencies and can load required modules
without you having to specify them. But have a ferret around for hisax.o
in any case.

Is there a special ipppd program for ISDN?

I would guess that the failed module load is the cause of this problem. My
guess is that the ippp0 interface is created when the hisax module loads.

This could be a missing /dev file (use MAKEDEV) or could be again caused
by the module not being loaded.

Ditto. etc.

It seems that this script is seriously lacking in error checking...

Probably a bogus message which will go away if you load the module
correctly.
