Looks pretty good.

Yes.

This is normal - if mgetty is not running, the port is "idle", DTR and RTS
are inactive.  If mgetty is running, the port is active (from the modem's
view), it has to be, to be monitored for "RING".  Mgetty has special logic
to go away if pppd or other dialout programs start.

No.  Mgetty enables full-duplex operations.  (Which is *very* explicitely
explained in the docs and the FAQ).

Hmmm.  What do you need by "make mgetty working properly"?  From the log
file you have shown, everything is perfectly alright.  Where is the
problem?

So what *is* the problem?  The on-ness of the DTR and CTS lights?  This is
not a problem, this is the correct state.

If the pppd program uses proper locking, dial-out should not be hindered -
see the "linux" section of the manual.
