getty blocks dialout. mgetty just plain loopy.
I am trying to set up a modem for both dialin and dialout use. I have been unable to do this with either getty or mgetty. If I run "getty -h -w 38400 ttyS1", I cannot dialout. Kermit says Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/cua1: Device or resource busy If PPP is up when I start the getty (i.e. "telinit Q" after editing /etc/inittab), I get May 6 18:38:53 dagobah /sbin/getty[2201]: /dev/ttyS1: cannot open as standard input: Device or resource busy May 6 18:39:03 dagobah /sbin/getty[2202]: /dev/ttyS1: cannot open as standard input: Device or resource busy ... If I run "mgetty -b -r ttyS1", dialins produce May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: tcsetattr failed: I/O error May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: cannot turn off soft carrier: I/O error May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: tcgetattr failed: I/O error May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: cannot get TIO: I/O error I am really wishing I had not upgraded...

smail ignores visible_name and from_field config settings
I have a home machine on which I would like to send mail to local users as
well as the Internet (when a PPP link is up). I used to do this by telling
smailconfig that I am an "Internet site" with visible name "primenet.com"
(my Internet Service Provider's domainname).
This produced from fields like @primenet.com, which is great for
me ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is my account with my ISP) but not so hot for my
wife ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is not an actual account) or for root
([EMAIL PROTECTED] is not the right account). I fixed this by adding
from_field="From: Matt Birkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
to the end of /etc/smail/config.
After upgrading to Debian 1.1beta (smail 3.1.29.1-22), this arrangement
does not work. The from_field setting seems to be ignored. All of my mail
is "From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" ("dagobah" being my local hostname).
Am I the only person who was / is trying to do this? Has anyone succeeded?

/etc/papersize?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (joost witteveen) Date: Sun, 5 May 1996 15:03:45 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org [...] /usr/bin/gs reads /etc/papersize, possibly adds the correct papersize to the argumentlist, and then executes /usr/bin/gs-papersize. I do not have an /etc/papersize and I do not find it in unstable/Contents nor in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* (neither in a package file list nor in an installation script). It seems a pity to have gone to the trouble of supporting /etc/papersize if it never gets created. Perhaps I am missing it because I am running 0.93B4 upgraded to 1.1? Does latex/dvips support /etc/papersize? What is the default papersize?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (joost witteveen) Date: Sun, 5 May 1996 15:03:45 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org [...] In order to process your /etc/papersize, I had to add a wrapper programme to the gs package (and call this wrapper programme "gs", so that it gets executed when you type "gs"). /usr/bin/gs reads /etc/papersize, possibly adds the correct papersize to the argumentlist, and then executes /usr/bin/gs-papersize. I do not have an /etc/papersize and I do not find it in unstable/Contents nor in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* (neither in a package file list nor in an installation script).

Does latex/dvips support /etc/papersize? What is the default papersize? If you've got a better name please tell me. It does not matter much to me. You mentioned it and I was puzzled. It wasn't easier to edit the argv[] in gs's main()?

gs-papersize?
BTW, what is gs-papersize? I found neither manpage, nor Info node. Matt Birkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP 2.6.2 Public Key ID = 74305425 Key Fingerprint = B3 34 FB 3E 3C FE E8 57 AA B4 B2 95 A7 C0 1E AF
