- This happens because you haven't switched of the result codes of your modem.
- The getty sends the login promt to the modem, the modem doesn't understand
- this command and answers with ERROR. Now getty sends the password prompt,
- also not understandable by the modem, which answers with ERROR again.
- Because you don't have a login ERROR with password ERROR the login
- process now outputs an error message to the modem. This happens forever.
- Use kermit or cu to connect to your modem and switch result codes off
- with the command: AT V0 E0 Q1
- Hope this helps.
- Have a Happy New Year.
