I had tried -Lnever and it just causes a message in /var/log/auth.log Dec 7 05:02:17 bit agetty[1555324]: invalid argument of --local-line and agetty does not exec /bin/login in this case but only logs the error message, waits for 10s, and then exits. Since agetty does not wait for the modems carrier detect or for the "RING" message from the modem I don't see how it can be used on dial-in lines. Steve
