If you don't have your heart set on using mgetty - consider trying the PPP-enabled getty and pppd that I hacked together a month or two ago. Check the mailing list archives of -isp for a message containing (PPP and PAP and getty). I posted a detailed set of instructions at the time.. It is alpha-release code but it appears to work just fine. Once I get a few minutes to spare I'll write up some nice docs to go with it, and see if we can't get it committed to the current source tree. ... JGhome | help
