Well, mgetty (and vgetty for voice) does also in addition to normal login - receive faxes (and can start a whole bunch of things with receiving faxes, like printing, forwarding per mail, ...) - receive voice messages (to these apply the same option as to faxes) - fire up pppd - fire up uucico - fire up [any custom programm, if configured by the system administrator] Does the same apply to mgetty as to any other getty? (If yes, does this mean that I don't have to do anything now?) Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
