All,
(Sorry it took me so long to get this stuff tested.) In fact, RH5.2's
uugetty is STILL broken as far as I can see. I had to go all the way
back to the getty_ps-2.0.7h-4 package. I believe this package came from
Red Hat 4.1. So, it seems that RINGBACK has been broken since version
4.2. I've complained about it every time I've upgraded, too! :-P
Red Hat, will this feature ever again work?
So, does there exist another package which will do the same that Red Hat
*does* have working? The RINGBACK feature let's you configure uugetty
to not answer the phone the first time someone calls, but after they
hang-up and call again. I.e. you call, let it ring a couple times, hang
up, call back, and *then* it picks up (and lets you start your ppp
session, etc.)
