So, it looks like PPP is working on your machine.

1. is mgetty compiled with -DPPP
2. is /AutoPPP/ in the login.config file ?
3. do you have the last lines of the mgetty log, to see if pppd is
   really launched, and if it is, the log file for pppd ?

If pppd is launched, then maybe your PAP secrets are wrong (personnally
I always use CHAP + MS-80 when connecting from MS-WINDOWS'9x machines,
not PAP).
