I'm posting this for a friend of mine, but please reply to the group or directly to me. I have some trouble with Minix and modems. I don't know if I have set things up right, or if my versions of getty and modem.c is my source of error. The fact is that when someone tries to log into my system, the modem is aswering, but the getty process hanging on serial line no.1 is not responding. The caller don't get a login-prompt. I have set up the /etc/ttys - file so that init forks off a getty-process on /dev/tty1, I have compiled getty.c with the CHOICE_A option, so that getty is monitoring the modem-status, and should give the caller a login-process if he get contact. Does anybody know about this problem, or have any idea of what is wrong? I don't know exactly how the /etc/gettydefs - file should look like, does this matter? I also know that there is a problem with carriers and DCD's in Minix, these problems can wait...
