Hi, My Redhat Linux box has mgetty installed to answer calls.  It was
working fine for the longest time but then the computer locked up one
day and I had to reboot it, since then it won't answer the phone
anymore.  When I call the linux box from another machine it just keeps
ringing, but if I stand beside the linux box I can hear the modem click
on to answer the phone but it still keeps ringing.  Also I can see in my
processs that mgetty has started so I assume that the computer knows
that the modem has answered a call but it wont make a connection, and on
the dialing in machine it still just keeps ringing, does this seem like
a modem problem to anyone?
