I use mgetty religiously and love it! A truly fine getty. If you switched from a regular getty to mgetty your problem is likely because you've got your modem set to auto-answer. mgetty will only become confused if the modem answers automatically. mgetty wants to issue it's own answer command to the modem. (When used with Caller-ID, this allows mgetty to only answer calls from a predefined set of numbers!) mgetty can also auto-recognize PPP and start up PPP instead of /bin/login so that you can authenticate solely with PAP and CHAP. If you need help getting mgetty working, let me know. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
