     This should probably have "rtscts" on the end of it.  A couple of
other things I did differently, was that I put the speed into
/etc/ppp/options.tty00, and didn't put any parametres into /etc/ttys.
init sets the controlling terminal to tty00, which is how pppd figures
out what terminal it should be on.  So, my line looked like this:

tty00	/usr/sbin/pppd		unknown	on	rtscts

} If I say
} 
} /usr/sbin/pppd tty00 38400
} 
} in shell, everything works,  I have /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/options.tty00
} and the chat and connect scripts present.

     It would help a lot if you gave these files.  Obviously, you
should 'x' out any phone numbers or passwords.
