by HELP! I've setup linux PPP servers before (on Slackware) using mgetty
and pppd. I just installed Red Hat 5.0 and am attempting the same.
Modems are configured, /etc/mgetty/config files are set, inittab
entries made, etc. I compare all settings to an existing, working
system with modification required only for RH's different file
locations. It doesn't work. I've attached copy of the mgetty log.
It's apparently seeing the LCP request, but failing to match my
/AutoPPP/ entry in login.config.
Any assistance is very much appreciated.

Thanks.
