I'm running a pretty plain vanilla Debian installation and am wanting to support remote logins via the modem. I did this long ago with a system that I had build on since the Linux 0.12 days and used (I think) mgetty. As I recall it was pretty involved replacing all of the getty stuff with mgetty. I don't really want to go to all that trouble again if there is an easier way.
My copy (old) of the serial HOWTO only discusses remote logins using mgetty. My question is, do I have to get another getty package or will the getty (agetty??) that comes with Debian support remote logins? The second request is, if anyone is doing that, would they mind sending me a copy of the pertinent lines from their inittab and startup files? Thanks, Jim.
