Hello sreid,

I my site I would do the folowing:
1) create /etc/ppp/options with:
	modem
	crtscts
	mtu 296
	asyncmap 0xffffffff
2) create a user (ppp) for example with shell /bin/sh and .profile:
	exec /usr/sbin/pppd passive :xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx->ip number)
   where ip number is "choosen" from the port (ttyd0/ttyd1) and a table.

Now, when the user logs-in it starts pppd and gives an ip number to	
the other peer. When the user disconnects, the "modem" options is 
recognized by the pppd program, the program ends, and the init starts 
getty again (ready for the next connection).


Hope this can help.
