This demonstrates the point I was trying unsuccessfully to make.
DOSPPPD seems to use the FIRST spec it finds for the comm.
If you tell it COM1, then it ignores the non standard base address and irq
which follow. This could be fixed simply by changing the order in which
miniterm writes pppdrc.cfg. Obviously it would find the non standard numbers
first and ignore the COM1 statement.
