well, right here we see that mgetty is calling /bin/login instead of
pppd.
why?
because mgetty does not have a key for '/AutoPPP/' and the default action
is /bin/login (key '*') (look at the match: ... lines of the log)

so, either mgetty is reading a different login.config than you think it
is, or your login.config has some problem, or you have not caused mgetty
to reread login.config after changing it.
verify each of these and try again.
check that the login.config is really set up as you think it is, and that
needed entries are not commented out, etc.

look at the line before the "match ..." entries, it tells us it is reading
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
is that the one you are editing?

also you may want to have a closer look at all the stuff from the "--" to
the first line you included above, there is lots of good info in there in
a logical and consistent format. cant hurt to verify the config...

dunno about that one. maybe a modem or modem init string problem?

good luck.
