I'm trying to get mgetty to answer an incoming call on a data line.
I'm running mgetty -x 4 -D /dev/ttyS0 and it waits on the line until I
call in (I'm running it explicitly from the cmdline as root until I can
figure the problem out). On the first ring, it dumps me back to the
command prompt.
So, the question is : is the Debian Organisation dead ?
You wouldn't ask that if you had _my_ mailbox :-) There must have
been 20 or 30 debian-devel messages today. I couldn't kill it if I
tried.
I fixed a subscribe bug yesterday. Perhaps it had bit you.
