Try a kill -HUP <init_pid> tried that first of all ( it's in the manual, after all ;-) ), but no luck I still have "The Getty That Would Not Die !!" > was it sleeping (waiting)? do not believe so, but could somebody explain this to me in a bit of detail? specifically, if this is the problem, how do I fix it? > I think it depends on the type of modem/terminal you have, but > you basically have to make sure that the device sets DTR low -- > that tells the NeXT/getty that there's nothing coming in > on the line.

Witness the problems people are having ( or not ) with these external floppy drives. just a thought. Again, any help in my plight would be ... just swell.
