See also answer from Ray Olszewski Following is an E-mail I have send many times and I think it must have helped this people, because they did not come back to me with any questions. Here it comes: 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.
