PPP over a serial crossover cable between two machines. If mgetty is started interactively by root, PPP works, including PAP. I haven't found any effect when the mgetty command is in /etc/inittab. > In Debian it's customary to use getty for the serial console. mgetty provides the ringback protocol. For years that allowed dialin to a modem on ttyS0. The crossover cable with PPP was on ttyS1. For now I can live with the interactive connection startup. Thanks, ...
