Hi,
following is an answer I have given to another list not long ago. It might
be just what you are after.
Regards
Bernhard
Here's a quick run down from an article in Aust PC Mag Dec 98:
Assuming your modem settings are correct.
Edit your /etc/inittab file so it contains the following line (Modem
connected to ttyS1 / COM2):
S1:2345:respawn /sbin/mgetty ttyS1
to restart init, type:
init q
Edit your /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config file to contain the line:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login kdebug 7 debug
instead of:
/usr/sbin/pppd auth login
Edit your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file so it contains:
* * "" *
You will also need to have a look at /etc/ppp/options and comment out any
unwanted options. They are well described in the file itself or in the man
pppd pages
This is all you should have to do to make Linux answer your incoming modem
calls.
Good luck
Bernhard
