You mean you pay money to someone who *requires* you to
accept unauthenticated dial ins?!?
It should be possible to do the same without a patch
by having mgetty start pppd directly and using a pppd ip-up
script to tell diald "connect 0 ppp<n>" to have it come
up on the ppp interface. Even if diald is running in
"mode ppp" or "mode slip" it will treat a device that
does not start with "/" as an interface name and flip
to "mode dev" to handle it. The intention is to allow
dial back up of general interfaces but it should work
equally well here. Mind you, I don't think it's documented
and I can't remember trying it...
