Yet another Mgetty-PPP problem

Hi:

Even though I have read everything at this newsgroup (and
comp.protocols.ppp) pertaining to mgetty + ppp for dial-in to a Linux
box, I am still unable to complete a connection with the following log
files:

This portion is from /tmp/log_mg.ttyS1

*This entry is when dialing in from a Win95 terminal

11/25 15:29:30 ##### data dev=ttyS1, pid=383, caller=none,
conn='115200', name='
', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/'

*This entry is when dialing in from another Linux box

11/25 15:32:57 ##### data dev=ttyS1, pid=421, caller=none,
conn='115200', name='
', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/' 

***The ttyS1 log is identical to others I have seen posted at
de.alt.comm.mgetty and looks ok to me. It's the pppd that is creating
the problem:

This is the pppd log

These messages seem self explanatory, but I have not been able to solve
this problem with the literature available. Any info on this will be
appreciated and reciprocated whenever possible.
