Well, what's the *problem*?  The log file looks perfectly OK.  mgetty 
detects the PPP call, and calls /usr/sbin/pppd, as configured in
"login.config".

If that doesn't work, check the PPP options and the PPP log file.

Well, this is a normal character login.

No. You haven't asked a question, you have shown two perfectly fine log
files, so what kind of ideas do you expect?
