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.
