I have a MultiFace 3 in my A3000, and I have not a problem with it.

I use the options from the shell:
 /dev/ttyA0 115200 crtscts

I can't remember what I have in my ppp options file... 8)

If I am correct, /dev/ttym0 is the built in Amiga serial port.  So, pppd 
is probably looking in the worng place for you.

BTW: Since I am guessing that you have at least an 030 or 040, you might 
want to boost your speed from 19200 up to either 57600 or 115200, that 
is, unless you always have your CPU maxxed out doing jobs under BSD.
