There were patches a while back from anISP who had done the necessary
hacks to make the Microsoft code "just work".  I believe there was
a getty option to be placed in the /etc/ttys line to enable the
new behaviour for a line.  I believe it was "if user logs in as Puser,
start PPP".

The patches were posted in their entirety, so they should be in the
-current or -hackers list archives.
