I agree Richard.. setting S0=2 would mean the modem will pick up on 2 rings... which is not what you want... cause if you shutdown the machine, if someone rings it would pick up and they would get nothing. My modems were set to have s0=0 (auto answer off) and I then put the modems into the mode in which they report verbal responses like "RING" "NO CARRIER" "NO DIALTONE" and then when mgetty see "RING" "RING" "RING" it would pick up :) and do what it needs to do. You want mgetty to control the modem based on what the modem echos... not the modem to control the answer :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
