Just start your local ppp software and mgetty will detect it and kick 
off ppp for you.

Hmm, I'd assign the remote end an IP number (unless they're all 
assigned in ppp.secret of course).  you should ensure that the number 
is in the correct range for your LAN if you're using ``enable proxy'' 
- something like

  set ifaddr 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.101-192.168.1.254

(or whatever).
