I do not think my version of pppd supports that either.  What you need is the
software that will create link a pseudo tty in each system to the terminal
server and then you can run pppd on each side.

I wrote that for a friend to map some pseudos on a SUN box to another
terminal server.  It may need some tweaks but should map a pseudo 
on Linux to a port on the TS.
