Are you sure your modem is well configured to use the same handshake
mgetty is using?

Add login-prompt @ login:\32 to /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config.

I have seen modems that are used for fax not properly reset to data mode unless
power cycled.  Once they get into fax mode, they tend to want to stay in
xon-xoff handshaking even after they are commanded to go back to data mode.

mgetty login prompt lossage

1997-10-29 Thread Carey Evans
I'm using mgetty to provide dialup access to a 486, both starting PPP
and providing shell access.  There's no real problems with PPP, but
when I use minicom to connect to it, parts of the login prompt get
lost.  My /etc/issue.tty looks like:


Unauthorised access prohibited.

Connected to port \P at \C.


But when I connect I get:


Unauthorisedess prohibited.

Connected to port ttyS0 at Wed Oct 29 21:44:53 1997.

foo!login:


I lose different characters each time I press Enter and it prints the
message again.  I suspect mgetty isn't setting up the port for
CRTSCTS.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Also, how can I change it to foo login:?
