PPP over null modem



I'm trying to install potato over a PPP connection between a laptop with no
network card (hermod) and a desktop with ethernet (bolverk).

I can communicate over the null modem between machines with minicom no
problem.

hermod:~# pppd -detach /dev/ttyS0 57600 192.168.5.2:192.168.5.1 crtscts
debug noauth
bolverk:~# pppd -detach /dev/ttyS1 57600 192.168.5.1:192.168.5.2 crtscts 
debug noauth

does not set up a ppp0 interface on either machine... in fact, no
information is transmitted across the serial line at all!

also:
bolverk:~# echo die pppd die >/etc/ttyS1
while pppd is running on hermod does not kill pppd or even cause it to log
weird stuff.

Is there anyone who can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

TIA
-Dan
