I'm running NetBSD-current as of a couple weeks ago, but this is a general
question...

I've had dialout pppd running on my system for about a year, and now want
to do dialin. I'm encountering two unrelated problems:

1) After I added the mgetty line to /etc/ttys and did kill -HUP 1, I get an
mgetty process running, and it answers the phone when I dial in. However,
after I logout and hangup, init never starts up another mgetty - I have to
manually to kill -HUP 1 to get another one. Here's the line I added to
/etc/ttys:

tty00   "/usr/pkg/sbin/mgetty -x 9 -s 115200 -I 617-555-1212" vt220 on

The mgetty debug logs show nothing (of course, since mgetty isn't running).
As I recall, the way things are supposed to happen is:

    * init forks, with the original process doing some sort of wait on the
new process,
      and the new process running mgetty.
    * after a user logs in, mgetty execs the user's shell (bash or pppd in
my case)
      thus giving the shell the same pid as mgetty had (so init is still
waiting)
    * when the shell exits, init wakes up and starts another mgetty.

That last step doesn't seem to be happening. Any ideas?

2) I've configured mgetty to run pppd if it sees an LCP configure request
at the login prompt, and this works. It also gets through PAP and starts
IPCP, but never finishes. It seems that the other end doesn't want to
answer my Configure requests to setup my own IP address (it neither ACKs
nor NACKs them).

The remote end is Windows NT, and it is successfully dialing into several
different ISPs (and the NetBSD box is successfully dialing into two
different ISPs as well). The PPP configuration on the NT side is set to get
all info from the remote (in this case, NetBSD). 
The line in mgetty's login.config file that calls pppd when a call comes in
is:

    /AutoPPP/ -	-	/usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/peers/dialin

and /etc/ppp/peers/dialin contains:

	debug
	crtscts
	login
	ms-dns 10.0.20.11
	10.0.22.2:10.0.21.3
	proxyarp
	lock

This is probably some setting that needs to be setup weird for NT. Is there
maybe a boilerplate somewhere for dialin PPP? (there isn't anything in the
networking FAQ on the website).
