:Why has it got to? Use a script! I've got this in line in my "/etc/ttys":
:tty00   "/etc/ppp/jehova"               unknown on secure
:And the script looks like this:
:#!/bin/sh
:exec /usr/sbin/pppd $* 57600 194.123.65.89:194.121.202.132 defaultroute mtu 576 netmask 255.255.255.255 -bsdcomp connect $0.chat

Someone said that pppd now can handle other tty placements so it probably isn't 
needed.  Since I have it running on a production machine I haven't tried it
yet.  Also, I don't really want a dozen different scripts to handle modems.
I use /etc/ppp/options & /etc/ppp/options.tty* to handle settings of
individual ports.
