Then this means that I can't share PPPd and a getty (w/o IP--just text terminal dialin) on the same phone line? Is there a way I can force PPPd to assign an IP via DHCP (I have a DHCP server running great for the lan)? Is there a way to share both together? I frequently see ISPs have, when I dial in, a login/password prompt, but it works great for PAP/CHAP too.
