PPP over a serial crossover cable between two machines.
If mgetty is started interactively by root, PPP works, including PAP.
I haven't found any effect when the mgetty command is in /etc/inittab.

mgetty provides the ringback protocol. For years that allowed dialin
to a modem on ttyS0. The crossover cable with PPP was on ttyS1.
For now I can live with the interactive connection startup.
