This might happen if the null modem connection uses a 9-pin cable and so
doesn't have hardware flow control lines.
I'd suggest that you try using the pppd option "local", which should work
for a 9-pin cable, and allow pppd to start negotiations. It should also
work to allow pppd to start negotiations in the case of full-up null-modem
connection that may not be have a correctly wired null-modem cable.
