Maybe it is ppp problem. Do you need proxy ARP? When yes, check your IP and
mask on ethernet side.
It seems other problem you might have is "ppp0 <--> /dev/modem". You must
use real tty (for example /dev/ttyS3) in both ppp and mgetty configs. Both
programs can lock differrent devices(names) and conflicts each other.
