HI !!!

PART 1

	I recently ported mgetty+sendfax-0.98, compiled and installed it.
Could you check if what I did is correct. In /etc/ttys, i substituted the 
line,

	ttyd0	"/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup on secure

with

	ttyd0	"/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200" dialup on secure

After this, I issued a kill -HUP 1, and I see in ps -ax,

	...
	270  ??  S  0:00.07 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200 ttyd0
	...

I tried to dial to FreeBSD with the mgetty. It connects but after a 
second the carrier just drops. What am I doing wrong?

PART 2

	I tried to experiment of using instead cuaa0, so the line in 
/etc/ttys I tried to change to,


	cuaa0  "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200" dialup on secure

And issued a kill -HUP 1, and mgetty is now in memory,

	...
	139 ??  S 0:00.07 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 19200 cuaa0
	...

I tried to dialin to FreeBSD with mgetty, but this time, it connects, the 
carrier doesn't drop but I can't see no login prompt for less than a 
minute and then the carrier drops. I have run out of ideas. (Again) What 
am I doing wrong.


	Thank you ~:')
