the "Getty's" will be your first step... the pppd will be in there though... 

And there's more after that... :)

I ran a Linux based ISP for a number of years... :)

Here's another hint...  Not sure which distro your playing with, but, in
Debian, in /etc/inittab you'll find:

# Dialup lines:
#d1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS0 vt100
#d2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS1 vt100

uncomment the one for your modem's comport, or create the line for your
modem...
depending on what your ttyS?? is.

looking at my dmesg I find this line:

Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

Hope that helps a bit...
