Mgetty & Linux PPP-2.2.0a

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

Everything WAS set up correctly..... even the device locking....

I went as far as removing and reinstalling the Cyclades 16 port box for a 
new one....  the problems still remained.

After I removed it (mgetty) and went back to uugetty everything stopped 
happening.  The modems stopped locking up.  I spent nearly 2months and 
hundreds of hours on it.... talked to many different people about it...  
including yourself....  Unless that there is a more recent versionwithin 
the last few months (2months) I will not use mgetty.
I loved the logs and the power that it showed.  BUt I could NOT deal with 
the locking of the modems.  I even went as far as changing out the 
sysinit program...  nothing I did fixed the problem until I did awaywith 
mgetty.
I am sorry but I am not the only person that has had problems with it...
I really want to be able to utilize it... but I do not have the resources 
to spend attempting to get it back on-line.....

maybe when I have a free moth, I might try it again....  seriously.. I 
did and really do like the work on it...  but I could NOT handle the 
problems associated with it.

This is NOT meant to be a negative attack on mgetty or you Gert, I had 
too many problems with it... I *had* to swap it out.  Again I want to 
stay on the mailing list because as newer developments with it happen, 
maybe then I will reinstall it.  It's a GREAT program, but the headaches 
were too much.

sorry....
