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.
