[Remove the IP address from the above config file]

/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd -chap +pap login noauth debug proxyarp

[AutoPPP is used if you want someone to dial your system, then get
automatically logged in, using the user's credentials. It looks like you really
don't want users to log in. Just the 'ppp' user, right?

At this point, I'm not sure exactly how you should change the config file, but
have you looked at the output in mgetty.log.ttyS0? Are you starting mgetty in
inittab with the -x 6 flag? Like: s2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -n 1 -x 6 ttyS0]
