Gert,   

Thanks for even replying!  mgetty makes my remote access
nightmare so much easier to implement.

I hope its ok if i ask you one more thing.  On my Ultra 1 i get this is the 
/var/log file:

12/08 11:09:27 a/b   tio_get_rs232_lines: status: RTS CTS DTR
12/08 11:09:27 a/b  WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable?
12/08 11:09:27 a/b  lowering DTR to reset Modem
12/08 11:09:30 a/b   tss: set speed to 115200 (022)
12/08 11:09:30 a/b   tio_set_flow_control( )
12/08 11:09:30 a/b   waiting for line to clear (VTIME), read:
12/08 11:09:30 a/b  send: \dATQ0V1H0[0d]
12/08 11:09:30 a/b  waiting for ``OK''
12/08 11:09:30 a/b   got: ATQ0V1H0[0d]
12/08 11:09:30 a/b    CND: ATQ0V1H0
12/08 11:09:50 a/b  timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK'

but on my Ultra 5 i get:

12/09 11:58:43 a/b   tio_get_rs232_lines: status: RTS CTS DSR DTR
12/09 11:58:43 a/b  lowering DTR to reset Modem
12/09 11:58:47 a/b   tss: set speed to 38400 (017)
12/09 11:58:47 a/b   tio_set_flow_control( )
12/09 11:58:47 a/b   waiting for line to clear (VTIME), read:
12/09 11:58:47 a/b  send: \dATQ0V1H0[0d]
12/09 11:58:47 a/b  waiting for ``OK''
12/09 11:58:47 a/b   got: ATQ0V1H0[0d]
12/09 11:58:47 a/b    CND: ATQ0V1H0[0d][0a]OK ** found **

On the Ultra 1, mgetty detects CTS but doesnt seem to be able to 
talk to the modem.  Any ideas why?  mgetty does see CTS so im 
assuming that the modem is connecting to the machine correctly (tip
can also connect).  Another weird thing is the Ultra 5 does see 
DSR but the Ultra 1 does not, but as you said that doesnt matter.

Thanks again.
