We'll return to e3316359Connecting to Linuxtudent.uq.edu.au and All's
discussion of Connecting to Linux

 e3> The serial-HOWTO is what you need, I don't know where nnrp.ucs.ubc.ca
 e3> is  so try sunsite.

Or in print in books such as the Linux Bible.  BTW, I just got my serial
dialin line working with the help of these docs, as well as the man
pages, which I found to be the most useful of the lot.

The person who asked the original question should try "man getty".  All
the info needed is in there. :-)

 e3> If you're brave, you could try looking at the comments in the
 e3> following  files:
 e3> /etc/inittab
 e3> /etc/gettydefs
 e3> /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
 e3> /etc/default/getty.(serial port) I think !

On some versions (like mine), the last is /etc/getty.conf.ttyS(port).

Only the man pages had anyu info on how to set up a dialin line for
'ringback' operation, so it can share the voice line.
