mgetty interfering with diald

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

One of the first sentences in the mgetty-Manual states:
mgetty handles incoming calls without interfering with outgoing calls.

This is not true on my maschine:

when the following is started with inittab:
mo:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty /dev/modem

... I cannot get DIALD to work. In /var/log/messages I read the following:

All programs lock to /var/lock and point to /dev/modem -> ttyS1 ...

Thanks for any help,

P.S.:
Substituting the inittab entry above with one of the following
leads to further errors:

1) mo:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -x6 -s 38400 modem
-> sendfax <anyphone> <any.g3> won't dial any more and seems blocked

2) mo:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 -R 45 /dev/modem
or mo:45:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 -R 45 /dev/modem
-> will not answer the phone on the second or more rings.
