dialin server - mgetty AutoPPP

[tag]

Hi,

I have tried this howto and many others to get mgetty ->AutoPPP to work on a gentoo box.

I am dialing from a windowsXP box to the gentoo box.

I have the following installed:
emerge -vp ppp mgetty

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

l /usr/sbin/pppd
-r-sr-x--- 1 root ppp 231756 Dec 24 10:43 /usr/sbin/pppd*

the mgetty logfile has this:

PPP is compiled into the kernel .
I never even get to start pppd ... it never gets there ?

My mgetty.conf looks like:

debug 4
speed 230400
modem-type data
modem-check-time 1800
term vt100
init-chat "" \d\d\d+++\d\d\dATZ OK AT&H1E1Q0S0=0&C1&S0&D2M0 OK
port ttyS0


and my login.conf looks like:
#/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap /etc/ppp/options.server
#/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server debug
#/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login debug

/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap proxyarp debug

as you can see I have tried many different ways - and it qlways seems to not get past the :

12/24 13:05:52 yS0 getlogname (AUTO_PPP), read:

part. Even if I use minicom or hyperterminal and dial into it - I still cannot get to type in a username or password. It is just stuck.

I have been trying to get this working for over a month now.
I have searched the forums as well as on google - but still nothing helps ...

what am I doing wrong ??

Any ideas welcome - Thanks
