I'm attempting to connect two systems via serial nullmodem cable.
From what I can make of man ppp, its simply a matter of configuring
one machine as dialin server & other for regular ppp dialout, then run
"ppp -dedicated <ppp.conf label>

Obviously there is more to it than this because neither "netstat -nr"
nor
"ifconfig -a" gives any indication that a connection has been
established.

The handbook description doesn't cover what I'm trying to achieve ...
the client machine is not simply a terminal. It needs to run services
like
sendmail as if it was connected via regular dialup modem.

Can anyone speak some words of wisdom on this issue ??
