Hi all, I have a system with two modems. 14.4k - COM1 33.6k - COM2 I have the COM2 modem setup as /dev/modem. The COM1 modem is untouched. Now I use the second modem to connect to the internet, it's working fine. I just installed the 14.4k modem on COM1, and i'd like it to be able to pick up the phone and give the caller a login prompt. So far, I have modified the /etc/inittab file as follows: # Serial lines #s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS0 vt100 #s2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS1 vt100 # Dialup lines d1:23:respawn:/sbin/agetty -hit60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS0 vt100 d1:23:respawn:/sbin/agetty -hit60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS1 vt100 #d1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS0 vt100 #d2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS1 vt100 The last two lines in the dialup section were from a default installation, the first two lines were from another post telling someone how to do something similar! Now, what do I need to do to get this damn modem to pick up the phone and give the caller a login screen? At the moment, I am trying to supply a few friends with basic net access, just IRC and stuff. Down the road i'd like to get a PPP thing happening. Well if anyone has any ideas, it'd be great to hear from you! Thanks in advance, Jarrod. Please CC to mrsilly(@)ozemail.com.au ...
