Pppconfig uses pppd to "autodetect", but why do you care? You know what
port to use. Just select it manually in pppconfig.

Why? Just set up demand-dialing on it with pppconfig, make it the gateway
for your other box, and you'll be off and running.

Pppd expects a real serial port. It could take a long time to get this
working. You're doing it the hard way. See above.
