Xtian,

> How can I make mgetty and PPP work simultaneously?

        So far as I am aware with one modem, you can't.  If mgetty is enabled,
action by ppp is interpretted as a contact attempt, and after failure
disconnected.  If you find out otherwise, please let me know.

        What I use is a trio of /etc/inittab files
                inittab-mgetty-disabled         - kermit, ppp, etc.
                inittab-mgetty-enabled          - fax and remote login
                inittab-mgetty-ringback         - remote control

        My /etc/inittab is a copy of one of these three.  My frequency
of use and duty cycle is such that the cost of copying inittab is only
a small annoyance.

                                                Reporting,
