Very Computer

hello,
i just want to alow my self and others to dial into my computer throught
the modem. I have a 14.4 data/fax modem. But when i tried to get uugetty
to work it would get a segmentation error when some one would try to
logon with out an acount. This would cause uugetty to stop working, lock
the modem up and etc. I have heard many good things about mgetty but i
would like to know more about it? could some happy (or not happy) users
of mgetty tell me alittle about it, i can't find any good refrences
about it. What i want to know is would it work for me, what i would like
to be able to do (or need to);
uucp
dialing out on the same line
a working (won't just die for stupid reasons) getty
and maby getting and sending faxes.
thankx a ton if you could just take as sec and send me some mail saying
"yeah use it rules!" and if you have the time just alittle bit about it

pablo

ps: sending responses also by email would be nice, i have major usenet
lag.

If you only want to establish data connection I think mgetty is the
betty choice.

And you can always use mgetty to receive faxes and hylafax to send
them.

In my opinion, mgetty is very portable and the best getty ever.  There
are simply some tricks which must be learned, eg, never use the cuaX
devices files (always use the ttySX ones).
