I need to created a dial-in capability for a machine with a single
serial port modem. I thought that I could do this with mgetty and still
allow me the flexibility to use pppd for internet access etc. So I:
1) Added mgetty to my inittab file:
d2:45:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -x 3 -D ttyS1
2) When I attempt to use pppd it dials the phone but it appears to loose
the connection immediately after it is made.
3) Remove mgetty and everything works again.
Any ideas?
Thank you for the help. :)
