This was a temporary attemp.
Now I have inserted "remote 192.168.20.1" and "local 192.168.20.100"

I specified both -> it doesn't work. Then I had omitted one/both -> it
doesn't work...

Because the pppd manual says with this option all remote/local adresses
should be accepted.

I still want to use different ppp options for dialout an dialin (with
mgetty)

lock
crtscts
modem
defaultroute
asyncmap 0
debug
deflate 9,9
bsdcomp 9,9
show-password

Yes with the above options.

I don't have "noipdefault" in my option. But if I understand the manual
right, this is for the local adress.
I don't recommend 38400 as serial line speed. Use 115200 instead.
Because if your modem establishes a V.34 connect with 33600 bit/second
and 42bis compression, the serial line becomes the bottleneck otherwise!
(Not to speek of a V.90 connect with 48000 bit/s)
