ppp via null modem cable

Hello.

I am trying to configure a FreeBSD box to serve
as a ppp server for a Windows box.
I have to use a null-modem cable with only
RxD/TxD/GND.


Here is my ppp.conf for userland ppp:

default:
 set log ...
 ident ...

direct0:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 19200
 set timeout 0
 set lqrperiod 10
 enable lqr
 accept lqr
 set ctsrts off
 set cd off
 set accmap 000a0000
 set openmode passive
 enable pap chap
 set ifaddr 172.16.0.1/0 172.16.0.100-172.16.0.199

And I have a ppp.secret with one entry only:
 test test

Neither "ppp -dedicated direct0" nor interactive ppp work.

Can someone verify, if there is something wrong
with my ppp.conf, so that I _only_ need to
investigate in finding Windows configuration problems?

Thank you,

Norbert
