For sure. What's old is new again.

I won't be at the site again for a few days. As I recall, nothing
pertinent in /var/log/mgetty . As if mgetty wasn't invoked.

Nothing from that.

A modem is on ttyS0 and the serial crossover on ttyS1.
> If not then do you have -r to avoid the modem initialization?
Yes, the crossover connection is data only. Both connections worked
a few years back.

Exactly. In absence of a driver for an Ethernet adapter, serial crossover
with PPP is quite effective. After starting mgetty interactively, the
required files were moved across. The problem is not an immediate
concern but would be nice to solve for future use.
Thanks, ... Peter E.
