Configure the MS-* system to not use scripts but CHAP handshaking (This
is called I think MS-WINDOWS NT Dialin / Internet)

and use this entry in login.config, assuming local address (ie server
address) is 192.168.2.1

/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp   /usr/lib/ppp/pppd auth +chap -pap crtscts modem -detach debug 192.168.2.1:

Also, configure your /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to contain, for a user
truc, address 192.168.2.10, secret machin, and where abcd is the
name of the local system (the server).

truc	abcd	machin		192.168.2.10

Interesting logs are normally in /var/log/messages. And the
mgetty log to be sure that the PPP daemon (pppd) is launched.
