With AutoPPP you can do PPP (the ISDN modem will convert syncppp to
async PPP for you - it has to, as it is an async serial line!).  If it's
not a PPP call, the caller will get a login prompt.

Actually this is a question whether this Hagenuk thing can do it.  In my
ZyXEL, I say "MSN 1 = PPP, MSN 2 = X.75, MSN 3 = Modem, ..." and it just
works.
