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. Let me know how you go.
