This machine is behind my firewall, and is on the same segment (but different
subnet) as the machine I'm trying to connect from - and no, the router between
the subnets is not blocking any ports. This is a test, because it's a lot easier
to do with the two machines 5 feet away from each other than 10 miles apart
(seeing as how my existing firewall blocks telnet).

I can't agree - I tried it without doing the link, and pppd complained about
the +chapms &etc lines in the /etc/ppp/options - so it was calling the stock pppd.
