Very Computer

Can any one help me get mgetty going on Redhat version 3.0.3 kernel
1.2.13 I have had uugetty going on slackware and wondering what I need
to put in the /etc/inittab entry /etc/gettydefs and any thing else. If
you have mgetty working please post your inittab mgetty line and if you
can lead me to any other settings I need.
Thanks

In the policy.h file I tried to set my modem string and it did not
make after that. Can you send me a copy of your policy.h and perhaps
let me know a little more info on the ttyC0 stuff. Sounds great.
Thanks

My inittab line is simply:

2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty ttyC0

as most of the configuration for mgetty is done by editing policy.h and the
Makefile.  Go through both of those files very carefully and completely before
compiling mgetty.  A large portion of the configuration can ONLY be done by
editing these files and recompiling it -- you can override some of it from the
command line (in inittab) but not much.

(BTW, in case you're curious and don't know, the "C" in the tty means I'm
using a Cyclades multiport serial device -- they're awesome --
www.cyclades.com).

Note that the "init-chat" can also be set (at runtime) in
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config .
(I didn't need to -- mgetty worked for me without change --
I am using a ZyXEL Elite.)
