Hey! This AutoPPP is cool. I'm actually saying this for some stroke of luck: I'm using mgetty to make my modems answer the dialup calls. I'll just have to tweak some configurations and do not have to get another "getty." Thanks a lot.
BTW, I'm using the "latest beta" version of mgetty from alphagreenie since I couldn't compile mgetty 1.0 under Slackware since Slackware 7. :( The most reliable mgetty Slackware package in the internet also uses the "latest beta." Is Debian using the "stable" source code? I remember installing a recent official Red Hat distribution and it had the "latest beta" as its mgetty RPM.
