I have mgetty-1.1.5-1 (compiled from the .src.rpm) and ppp-2.2.0f-3 working
on a RH4.2 box. My inittab line is as following:
S0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0
One reason you have trouble migth be that the mgetty you're using is not
compiled with autoPPP support. I found out mine was not with:
strings $(which mgetty) | grep PPP
which should result in something including:
/AutoPPP/
When AutoPPP support is compiled in, the configuration files in
/etc/mgetty+sendfax basically work as advertised. I use a shell script in
login.config to start diald:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/lib/diald/a_ppp-connect
For starting pppd instead, you're probably already served by the pppd line
in the original login.config.
Hope this helps.
