mgetty is not required. getty/uugetty, distributed with Red Hat, will
do this also. "man getty" for more info.
Example: My modem is on /dev/ttyR0. To have the modem answer after
four rings, I have /etc/conf.uugetty.ttyR0 with these lines:
INIT="" ATZ\R OK AT&C1e0S0=4\r OK ""
ALTLOCK=modem
(/etc/conf.uugetty.ttynn are the configuration files for uugetty,
though the man page says they are in /etc/default... that is not
correct on Red Hat 3.0.3.)
Also, to start uugetty when the system is booted, put something like
this into /etc/inittab:
R0:2345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty ttyR0 F38400 vt100
Make sure /etc/gettydefs has a line like this to define the baud rate
"F38400" above:
F38400# B38400 CS8 CRTSCTS # B38400 SANE -ISTRIP HUPCL CRTSCTS \
#@S login: #F38400
I just dialed into my Linux system to verify these settings -- which
also demonstrates that it works.
Happy Linuxing!
