It is all of these: - It is your modem not responding to vgetty (probably turned off) - Using an outdated version of mgetty with broken vgetty software (The mgetty 1.1.14 distribution contains broken vgetty due to a rewrite) - Redhat still delivers the broken and outdated mgetty/vgetty (As a matter of fact: mgetty has always worked for me starting from the first version I used, 0.22. v) - Voice modems are very sensitive. They crash very fast. (Especially some rockwell modems that already crashed only switching to voice with at#cls=8). (Maybe that is why it is not responding). - vgetty's logfile is not put in logrotate.conf, so it will keep on growing. - Maybe somebody dialed you modem, and talked to it, which triggered the faulty code within vgetty, which maybe crashed your modem... What YOU should do: - upgrade to at least mgetty-1.1.20 to obtain correct and working vgetty code (or use mgetty, and not vgetty, if you don't use the answering machine functionality). - Read the documentation of mgetty, and read (if any) documentation about vgetty. - Read the manpages of logrotate - Configure mgetty or vgetty and logrotate accordingly. - Check out alt.de.comm.mgetty (Or search for a newsgroup called mgetty) That's it -- intel1: 8:39pm up 27 days, 20:27, 10 users, load average: 0.25, 0.07, 0.02
