OK. But pppd is running at this point so the permissions problem is handled.
You just need to override the default option -- proabably it's something
like "noauth" in the appropriate options file, but you're (probably) using a
newer version of pppd than the ones my experience is with, so best to check
the man page for this.

Yuck. Never store the root password in the clear on the system. But you know
this without my needing to tell you.

What is address 192.168.1.74? Which end of the connection? How is it being
assigned? What networks does the host support (what is its routing table,
for example)? This may just be the same options problem as before, but
without seeing your ppp setup (the relevant options file(s) or command-line
arguments) I can only guess.

Aside from referring you to the standard mgetty docs, I don't know. As I
said, I did this with agetty, not mgetty.
