Dialin PPP server setup

I'd appreciate help getting a PPP dialin account working on Solaris 8. I've
been able to get the modem connection working, and can log into the remote
machine. But whenever I try to log in with the PPP username, the line
immediately drops (even when I try connecting to the remote machine manually,
with kermit, entering the username and password).

After an attempt to log into the PPP account, the log file in
/var/adm/log/asppp.log contains:

04:57:19 Link manager (13864) started 03/29/03
04:57:19 parse_config_file: Successful configuration
04:58:46 start_ppp: tcsetattr failed
         Error 5: I/O error
04:58:46 Link manager (13864) exited 03/29/03

The contents of the various configuration files on the dial in server are:

/etc/passwd:
aoi-ppp:x:601:600:PPP login:/tmp:/usr/sbin/aspppls

/etc/saf/zsmon/_pmtab:

ttyb:u:root:reserved:reserved:reserved:/dev/term/b:b::/usr/bin/login:60:38400:ldterm,ttcompat:login\:
::xterm:n:#Modem - Bidirectional

/etc/asppp.cf:
#ident "@(#)asppp.cf 1.10 93/07/07 SMI"
#
# Copyright (c) 1993 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
#
# Sample asynchronous PPP /etc/asppp.cf file
#
#
#ifconfig ipdptp0 plumb mojave gobi up
#
#path
# inactivity_timeout 120 # Approx. 2 minutes
# interface ipdptp0
# peer_system_name Pgobi # The name we log in with (also in
# # /etc/uucp/Systems

ifconfig ipd0 plumb remoteB up netmask +
path
        ipcp_async_map 0 # Use async control character map 0
        inactivity_timeout 600 # activity timeout
        peer_system_name aoi-ppp # Name of the dial-in user
        peer_ip_address aoi-ppp2 # IP address to be given to the client
        debug_level 9 # Full logging

/etc/hosts:

192.168.205.1 aoi-ppp2
192.168.205.2 remoteB

And 'ifconfig' shows the interface up:

% ifconfig ipd0
ipd0: flags=10000c1<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 8
        inet 192.168.205.2 netmask ffffff00
        ether 0:0:0:0:0:0

Thanks!
