I had the same problem with OT/PPP trying to connect to NetBSD.  If I 
remember correctly I just put a dummy entry in for the phone number and 
everything worked.  Try using "," for the phone number.  It generally 
does nothing but introduce a short dialing delay and should be enough to 
convince OT/PPP that you have entered something in the phone number field.

Hope this helps,
