Hi...

mgetty with AutoPPP did his work for a really long time.. and then...
without a configchange (i know, EVERYBODY says this ;) it just doesn't
work.

The logfile entries before the problem used to look like this:
----
10/15 10:43:17 yS0  waiting for ``RING'' ** found
**                           
10/15 10:43:17 yS0  send:
ATA[0d]                                              
10/15 10:43:17 yS0  waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found
**                        
10/15 10:43:18 yS0 
send:                                                      
10/15 10:43:18 yS0  waiting for
``                                             
'' ** found
**                                                                 
10/15 10:43:20 ##### data dev=ttyS0, pid=18610, caller=none,
conn='64000/ISDN/X75', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd',
user='/AutoPPP/'

Now the logfile looks like this:
------
10/15 21:02:02 yS0  waiting for ``RING'' ** found
**                            
10/15 21:02:02 yS0  send:
ATA[0d]                                               
10/15 21:02:02 yS0  waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found
**                         
10/15 21:02:03 yS0 
send:                                                       
10/15 21:02:03 yS0  waiting for
``                                              
'' ** found
**                                                                  
10/15 21:02:04 ##### data dev=ttyS0, pid=25380, caller=none,
conn='64000/ISDN/X75', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='@!v'
------
Obviously mgetty doesn't detect that the client wants to have a 
ppp-connection...

The client is a WindowsNT-machine (pleeeaaase - don't write answers
like: 'windowsnt is the problem' ;))... configured as follows:
Type of the Server: PPP
Protocols: TCP/IP only
Software-Compression: off
LCP: on

ok. i don't know any further....maybe you know? :)
