It looks like you're mixing user ppp (ijppp) and kernel ppp (pppd). I
haven't had much experience with ijppp but I've used pppd for quite awile.

That's OK.

This is ijppp -- try (on the server):
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mesg n
stty -tostop
exec /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp
Your gettytab and ttys looks fine.

kernel ppp!

Be sure ppp is compiled in the kernel:
pseudo-device ppp 1
must be in you're kernel config file.

The options are OK, though I don't use passive. The above login script
is all I use on the server. (I, too, am only using one line on my
machine at work.)
[server scripts deleted]
I set up my modem at work for dialin. E.g. echo and reporting off
hardware flow control, reset on DTR drop, force DCD to follow carrier
and store them in profile 0. That way when I logout (carrrier drops)
the modem resets to a known state.
Good luck.
