Hmmm, from the mgetty stand point, everything looks fine - but that
might not be what you want.  If you want AutoPPP, then do NOT login with
username "sks" and password, but just run PPP at the login: prompt -
mgetty will notice and start pppd accordingly.

You can do both (though not at the same time), depending on your PPP
setup.
