Did you know the regular getty will be happy to automatically start
pppd for you also?  Just add the :pp=/your/favorite/ppp: entry to
a gettytab entry:

	# /etc/gettytab
	ppp.115200|115200-ppp:\
		:np:sp#115200:\
		:pp=/usr/sbin/pppd:

	# /etc/ttys
	ttyd1	"/usr/libexec/getty ppp.115200"	dialup	on insecure
