Hi all.

I recently downloaded the most recent getty_ps, compiled it, and attempted
to use it.
My origional intent was uugetty to answer the phone so I could have dial-up
PPP to my linux box at home. 

- HOWEVER -

After installing, and following the documentation all I seem to get is:
(from messages)

  Jul  4 14:14:47 scum init: Id "d2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes

There is a reference to this in the documentation, but I cannot seem to see
why it is happening.

The following is in my /etc/inittab

d2:12345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty 38400 ttyS1 vt100

I have also tried it as 

s2:12345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty 38400 ttyS1 vt100

My modem works fine from Minicom.

I'm using a Banksia WAVE SP modem. (33.6K)

As an aside, my newly built getty also respawns too fast, so I'm currently
still using agetty. (Which will indeed answer the phone, but the dialling
computer gets crap on the screen, which is why I tried getty_ps in the
first place...)

SO: Neither of the binaries built from the getty_ps-2.0.7j source work. :(

Now. Is it something silly I have done, or is this a common problem?

Could anyone else who has set their linux box up as a dial in server
possible email the details of what they used, etc.

Thanks.
