I not sure what you are trying to do but if you want one machine to accpet ppp 
connections from another machine then you might install mgetty. Debian mgetty 
is patched to help users accomplish what I believe you are trying to do. Read 
/usr/share/doc/{mgetty,ppp} since it is mentioned there in details.
One thing I believe you are missing is the need to login to the ppp-server 
machine before the clients attempts to use ppp.
