Dialing into Demon, Here's my ppp-options file:

# General configuration options for PPPD:
lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
/dev/tts/1
115200
crtscts
passive
asyncmap 0

And my peers/demon file

peers/demon:debug lock modem crtscts /dev/tts/1 115200 asyncmap 20A0000 
escape FF kdebug 0 194.222.97.187:158.152.1.222 mtu 576 noipdefault 
netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultroute connect /etc/ppp/dial_scripts/demon 
ipparam Demon

Just noticed that it appears that they disagree, however, I've been 
using this successfuly for several years and it has worked fine.
