I got it, it's working now, I had some files misnamed.  Standard system
getty works just fine now.  Having a little trouble getting the server
to assign me the right address is all, but I think I will get that next.
Right now, I have a single line in ppp.secret on the server:

chuckr  *       206.246.122.117/32

no password here, it's getting that (because of the "enable passwdauth"
line) from /etc/passwd, but if I put a phony entry into ppp.secret with
garbage for a IP, that IP gets chosen, not the one for chuckr.  It's
nearly there, after I get that done, I gotta get it working for dynamic
IP, then I do a perl script for setting up the ppp.secret automatically,
then I am done.
