Could someone please shed some light into this problem:

With a VT100 terminal connected to COM2, /etc/inittab was edited to
show it was there.  On bootup the terminal gets a login prompt.
Hitting enter, will give another login prompt but entering the login
name and enter causes agetty to die.  It doesn't respond with
password.  It dies before this.  (NOTE: COM2 works for dialing out.)

BTW,  I am using linux 1.2.13.

Thanks for your help ....  :-)
