³ Look in your /etc/inittab file for the "getty" entries.  It might be
³ 'getty', 'mgetty', 'agetty' or whatever.  Consult the docu ("man agetty")
³ on how to configure.  A good distro will install everything in close to
³ working condition and you will only have to customize according to your
³ modem.

Ah-ha.  This was the part that I was having trouble understanding. That is,
how the modem gets answered.  I could not find anything with ppp that
actually suggested that it would do it, but that is what the getty is for.
 
I also didn't see anything in what I read about ppp that would suggest that
it did anything for incoming traffic, just dial-out.  I will consult the
man pages on that as well.
