Hi - hope someone can help.
I've just downloaded mgetty 1.1.9.
I use Linux 2.0.30 and have an older maestro internal 14400 modem (hayes
compat, no fax)

I cant get the modem to pick up the line. The entry in inittab seems find -
Ive tried several - and the modem works fine via other programs (ie -
minicom) on /dev/ttyS1.

It seems to start up - no error messages etc, nothing appears to have
happened. When logged in the ps command doesnt see mgetty (Should it, by
the way?). Ive also checked file permissions and everything else I can
think of. Any ideas?

Tony.
