Snake,

            Mgetty.config looks fine.  (Since you are able to dial in and
get the modem to pick up - we know it's working...)

You have the ms-dns set.  Is that a valid name server ?  Also, are you
trying to connect with a Windows client ?
Do you have TCP/IP protocol installed for the dial-up adapter ? Do you have
IP forwarding enabled for your Linux Kernel ?

Other approaches to try:
1) try dialup into your linux box without PPP.  (ie - disable autoppp, and
try a slip connection).  If you can login, at least you will know that the
dial up portion is working well.
2) try a manual start of PPP daemon.  For this to work, the user logging in
must have permission to start the PPP daemon.

Thats it for now.
