- Hi...
-
- I'm starting to think that ppl are misunderstanding my problem
- with dialin :( I could be wrong...I could be missing something that
- someone is telling me, or that the docs are telling me...but here goes
- again.
-
- Dialin works...login doesn't (simple, eh? *smile*) I
- installed getty_ps204, like everyone told me. I got the modem to
- answer and issue a login prompt. That's as far as it goes :(
-
- What I get for a login prompt is:
-
- /etc/issue
- login:
- passwd:
- <dead> <-- doesn't hangup, doesn't do anything, just sits
- there.
-
- I do not believe that this has *anything* to do with how the
- modem is inititalized, or else it wouldn't give me the login/passwd
- prompts. Compiling poeigl-1.7 doesn't help in the least, because it
- doesn't work with the shadow suite :(
-
- Hope someone can help with this...
