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.
