I'm setting up a dumb little box at my ISP to act as a ppp-ether router for my own dialup. I'd like to give mpd a go, too. I am interested in replacing the gettys on the serial/modem ports with pppd directly, so I can bypass Login:/Password: and simply use PAP to authenticate. This would appear to be much like "real" dialup servers. Actually it would be coolest if the getty-style process on the line did behave like many real comm servers: if it saw PPP noise, invoke PPP immediately. If it saw CR or timed out waiting after 5 seconds, offer the usual Login:/Password: prompt. What's the best way to do this? Thanks.
