Win3.x ppp dialin to linux

I am trying ot setup a Linux dialin server.  I have properly configured the ports, pppd, usernames, shadow passwords, etc..Windows 95 can login and get to network just fine.  However, when win3.x users (every dialin software package)dial in, Linux acepts the password just fine, then disconnects (NO CARRIER).  My pppd log file (/var/log/daemon) looks like this for a win3.x user in trumpet:

May 30 19:04:31 ns pppd[2239]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
May 30 19:04:31 ns pppd[2239]: Using interface ppp9
May 30 19:04:31 ns pppd[2239]: Connect: ppp9 <--> /dev/ttyQ1a5
May 30 19:04:34 ns pppd[2239]: user ppptest logged in
May 30 19:04:34 ns pppd[2239]: local  IP address 207.173.168.2
May 30 19:04:34 ns pppd[2239]: remote IP address 207.173.168.79
May 30 19:04:34 ns pppd[2239]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp
May 30 19:42:46 ns pppd[2239]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
May 30 19:42:46 ns pppd[2239]: Modem hangup
May 30 19:42:46 ns pppd[2239]: Connection terminated.
May 30 19:42:46 ns pppd[2239]: Exit.

I have mgetty 1.0.0 running on an Equinox serial card (3.30), pppd 2.2.0f, kernel 2.0.30, Dual pentium, 98 MB RAM..  Where have I strayed?

pppd is invoked from mgetty.  In my inittab, I have the following entries:

# Run mgetty on Equinox ports
s0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -x -D2 ttyQ1a1

And in login.config (for mgetty):
AutoPPP - - /sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts proxyarp

And for options (for pppd):
-detach dns-addr 207.173.168.1

And for options.ttyQ??? (for pppd, 1 for each port):
207.173.168.??:207.173.168.19

It works fine for Windows 95, but hangs up on Win3.x users.

Looks like you do not have troubles - usual connect messages followed by SIGHUP after 40 minutes.

How are you initiating pppd - is it a script that they have to start  remotely or have you automated it to start as soon as they log in?
