Umm, sorry, I forgot to say that's what I tried first (passive instead of
silent). The result was *exactly* the same. BTW, if I read the man page
right the only difference between silent and passive is that silent just
waits for an LCP packet from the other side, passive sends a packet and
then starts to wait if it doesn't get an echo.

tty00   "/usr/sbin/pppd 9600 passive local lock :spock" unknown on secure
again gives the same result: "getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/tty00". I don't understand what getty has to do with what's going on
on the modem port at all.

I couldn't find any pp capability on the gettytab manpage (NetBSD 1.3.2).

Oh well, I can always start pppd manually. If anyone's been able to start
pppd from /etc/ttys I'd be grateful to know how though.
