Scour through the man pages. One of the first examples mentioned (man pppd)
is pppd /dev/tty0a 9600 passive. You'll want something a little more than
that, but that's the idea. Something like "pppd /dev/tty0a 38400 passive file
/etc/ppp/your_options_for_this_port_file". I'd suggest crtscts as an
option, and you'll need to give IP addresses for each end, like:
<local_IP_address>:<remote_IP_address>. Something from the 10.X.X.X
range would be safe.

ppp is symetric, so there's no "server" ppp vs "client" ppp, except if one
side sets the others IP address.
