Hi,

I have mingetty and mgetty on my system: (/sbin/mgetty and /sbin/mingetty).
As I have mingetty already assigned to other purposes, I m using mgetty for 
receiving incoming calls (I m turning my linux box as a PPP server).
Here `s my problem:
I had to add the following line to /etc/inittab:
m1:3:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS3  (which is the modem attached
to my home phone line and that users
from outside can use to dial in).
Then I went executing `telinit q` from root to update inittab.
Things seemed ok..but in /var/log/messages it says:
mgetty 732 init chat failed,exiting..;interrupt$
mgetty 732 failed in mg_init_data,dev=ttyS3.

I ve tried different settings, replacin mgetty by mingetty..tried all my
ports(from /dev/ttyS0 to infinite..),
even tried replacing it by /dev/cuaxx..
still the same problem. It s just the error message that changes (eple:
m1:respawning was too fast, disabled for 5 mins..or,,
/dev/cuaxxx is invalid..).
what s happening? what should I try to go around it??
I guess that it s probably a problem with chat..but only thing people tell
me about chat is to go to the chat configuration
script and add chat -v..to have verbose enabled..but that doesnt resolve my
problem.

Thanks for help
