I have no idea how to do this with uugetty but the following describes
howto do it with mgetty.
Let me know if it helps.

Gee, i post this one alot i wonder if i should put it on a web page?
Probably should =)
Someone was talking about having a web page with faq type info on it? Maybe
it wasn't this list though.
AutoPPP Setup
w/ pppd2.2.0g and mgetty1.1.12-JAN27
by Dan Cyr
NOTE: read the README.linux included with your version of pppd before doing
this!!!!
NOTE2: This is ONLY for the tar.gz version NOT rpm!!!
###PPPD SETUP###
NOTE: make sure your current pppd is not in use, if it is kill the process.
**If you haven't got shadow passwords.**
./configure
make kernel
NOTE: now go rebuild your kernel. Read the kernel-HOWTO it's quite simple.
make USE_MS_DNS=1
make install
**If you have shadow passwords.**
./configure
make kernel
NOTE: now go rebuild your kernel. Read the kernel-HOWTO it's quite simple.
make USE_MS_DNS=1 HAS_SHADOW=1
make install
##TTYS? LINE SETUP##
In /etc/ppp make the folowing files (one for each ttys? line) with the
proper info in each. (use appropriate tty lines)
options.ttyS24
This file will look like this (except not with these IP's):
# -p forces the connection to try to stay alive. It's a good idea to use
this one.
-p
# Primary DNS Server
dns-addr 192.168.0.1
# secondary DNS Server
dns-addr 192.168.0.2
# HOST/IP:REMOTE/IP
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.3
And now to make sure u have mgetty setup properly.
###MGETTY SETUP###
NOTE: read the README.1st file before doing this!!!
NOTE2: Make sure mgetty isn't being used. Edit /etc/inittab and make sure
all the s??: lines are commented out (see the following table). Then
kill -1 1 to restart init without the modems online.
# mgetty configuration for the modem lines. ttyS?
# s3 = com 4 33.6 Internal Modem
#s3:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -R 30 ttyS3 -s 57600
#s24:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS24 -s 57600
#s25:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS25 -s 57600
#s26:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 ttyS26 -s 57600
#s27:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS27 -s 57600
#s28:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS28 -s 57600
#s29:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS29 -s 57600
#s31:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS31 -s 57600
# -x2 is for the debug level and it is dumped into /var/log/mgetty.ttyS26
# -R 30 means that this modem will ignore the first call, but will answer
# if the phone rings again in the next 30 seconds.
# -D simply means these modems are on to answer Data calls
# -s 57600 sets the max transfer rate
Now back to the 'new' mgetty
Copy the policy.h-dist to policy.h
Now, either leave it alone and adduser modem or, edit policy.h and change
#define DEVICE_GROUP "modem"
to
#define DEVICE_GROUP "uucp"
Edit Makefile and change the line:
CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe
to
CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP
make
make testdisk
make install
NOTE: redhat uses /etc/mgetty+sendfax for the configuration files but,
this new mgetty doesn't!!!!!! If you want to keep it in /etc/mgetty+sendfax
then go back to editing your mgetty Makefile and change this line:
# prefix, where most (all?) of the stuff lives, usually /usr/local or /usr
#
prefix=/usr/local
to look like this
# prefix, where most (all?) of the stuff lives, usually /usr/local or /usr
#
prefix=/
NOTE: if you do this then the line in inittab changes to:
#s24:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS24 -s 57600
ADD THIS LINE TO /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config or wherever
your is.
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login -detach
crtscts
Make sure you delete (or rename) /etc/ppp/pap-secrets In this version of
mgetty
it gets in the way of AutoPPP.
That should about do it. If it doesn't work maybe i left something out or,
you did something wrong (i don't think i forgot anything).
