I want to offer ppp on my machine to others. The preferred method is 
that people type in ppp and then the tty switches to ppp, like annex's
do.  Folks come in via hardwired lines. 
However, when I start ppp it complains that it cannot get the tty it works
on as the controlling tty. 

Are there people offering such a service, and if so, what did they modify?
(btw: I am using a FreeSBD 1.1R system together with the pppd that comes
with it)
