I am having trouble setting up my modem (Banksia MyFastModem 28.8 VFC) to allow others to dial in. I have the following line in my inittab: d2:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS1 vt100 What happens is that when I boot and do a ps, the agetty process is there waiting for a logon, but after a few seconds, the process disappears. The modem will pick up incoming calls (autoanswer) but the computer will not respond. I had the same trouble with a 7 wire null modem to another pc, but not with a 3 wire??? Is agetty getting some crap or something from one of the control lines, and jumping past the login prompt and then waiting for a password, and hence agetty process disapears?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Wayne
