I can't see how user-ppp could be used in the way described below. What
I'm trying to achieve is to provide strictly PPP services only by
bypassing getty altogether. If user-ppp can achieve this I'm more than
willing to give it a go.

Maybe redirecting stdin to "/dev/ttyd0" before calling ppp with the
"-direct" option would accomplish this? If so, does anyone know how to
do this?

Cheers,
Mark
