I'll try that tomorrow, the machines are at work. Does anyone know how the getty determines something is there? Is it just receiving any character? Because I had hardware flow turned off, and a breakout box on the serial line, and all the control lines, RTS, CD, DTR, etc. seemed to be doing nothing. So it must start the login when it gets a character, or newline, or something. But, it's not that critical. Anyway, I better get the getty off. heh-heh ;~) Does all this mean that getty won't work if the console on serial port is not compiled into the kernel? _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
