Could I ask you to try this again, with a bit more detail of the sort that
might help us to help you?
The "kitchen" always drops? I don't even know what to ask you to clarify this.
"I've tried a few different getty entries." May we see an example that fails
(but that works on the SCO system, which is what I assume you mean by "Unix")?
What else differs between the two (Linux and SCO) systems? You say you tried
the same modem on both. The same cable? The same phone line? And so forth.
What do the logs on the Linux system tell you?
When the connection is lost, are you in the middle of doing something, or is
the line sitting idle?
