- One way to fix is to use uugetty in the getty_ps package. It uses
- /usr/spool/locks directory (something like that) to coordinate with
- kermit.
-
- Unfortunately, I have failed to get my modem to work with 3 gettys
- so far. Best I can do is print /etc/issue using agetty and enter login.
- Unfortunately, password is never prompted for. And hand-shaking is
- screwed up somewhere, because /etc/issue is printed w/missing
- characters.

- You get this w/LILO < 0.7.
- Use 0.7+
- This was my problem
