One of the good points in using mgetty is the modem management :
mgetty waits for the "RING" message from the modem and then answers
the line.
Has PPPD the same feature ?

I'm using mgetty on another machine for incoming fax service and
login users but don't want to go through another hassle.
Kernel ppp and pppd as a server should work and it works
for several users but not all - that's the problem.
And I'm wondering whether it's a modem/tty line discipline problem after
all.
So my question aims on that rc.serial /comcontrol issue.
I believe comcontrol were gone in 2.x and so is rc.serial
but I'm not sure how to setup my modem line discipline.
Especially these crtscts and dtr (drainwait etc.) issues may be
important in that context.
