To get mine working, I had to instruct getty not to die if it didn't see the Carrier-Detect/DSR/CTS set. Otherwise, it wigged if the cable wasn't hooked up. Getty would respawn faster than a rabbit on hormones and init would have to chill it out for 5 minutes. The inittab line that worked was: S1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L -h 38400,19200,9600 ttyS1 > The question is: Why does the cable interfere in the first place?

Every document I've read recently that seems to know what it's talking about says to use tty exclusively. - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
