Thank you, this has been ajusted
my /var/log/messages file give the below messages
after correcting the /etc/inittab file

I can now dial-in with minicom and ping another server.
The lines above refering to mgetty are they a problem ?
ps -ax give the below message
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
2216 ? S 0:00 /sbin/mgetty /dev/modem vt100
2219 ? S 0:00 sendmail: IAA00728 mail1.metta.lk.: user open
I sometimes get a message
Id "s1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
Where can I correct this error or is it just to be ignored ?
=================================
I presume I now have to configure the 2 computers to know each other
for a propper ppp session to be up
I have in the main server "/etc/hosts"
204.143.107.46 dhamma dhamma
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
10.1.1.1 mail1
10.1.1.128 mail2
and on the mail1 "/etc/hosts" server
10.1.1.1 mail1 mail1.metta.lk
204.143.107.46 dhamma dhamma
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have in the "/etc/resolv.conf" on the main server
search metta.lk
nameserver 204.143.107.34
nameserver 204.143.96.17
mail1 10.1.1.1
mail2 10.1.1.128
and on the mail1 server I have
nameserver 10.1.1.1
dhamma 204.143.107.46
If you see anything wrong please let me know.
I shall try the ppp connection tomorrow
for now thank you very much
with best regards
