OK.. I have spoken to Katrina and she requires an actual login prompt. She
doesn't know if she has mgetty installed and I told her to login as root and
just type mgetty and see if there is any errors like "No such file or
Directory" or if it errors with a parameter message required and so on.
She was also told to use uugetty. I personally haven't used it and haven't
got it installed to try it.
Anyone care to advise?
They are from the Micr$oft world.

No - do not set the modem to auto answer.
mgetty should send an explicit request to answer to the modem when it
receives the RING signal.
