what do you mean waiting as a daemon? i know that not only does ppp do outgoing calls but it monitors for incoming calls as well and if the modem gets in an unknown state it will reinitialize it back to a known good state. i had a similiar problem where getty was on my com1 (cuaa0)port and when i tried to run minicom it was acting real strange, also hylafax tries to steal the port by instaling getty and ppp and hylafax fight each other. why do you want to run ppp and minicom at the same time anyway? I dont get it....
