A friend want to connect his Debian laptop and a Windows box
through a null-modem cable; we thought a PPP link would be most
flexible in terms of usability (http, ftp, telnet, etc).
He uncommented the `getty -L ttyS1 19200 vt100' line in
/etc/inittab and added the serail port to /etc/securetty.
In the Windows log files, he can see that the "Debian GNU/Linux 2.1"
login prompt appear.
The question is now to get pppd started automatically instead of
a shell login. Is that done using the `-l login_program' getty
option?
Any hints out there?
Thanks
