Mgetty 0.98 in the ports collection was broken, I have Gert Doering's letter confirming this fact. Do not know about 2.2.1-RELEASE though. However, let us try and identify your problem. > ___ > ls -al /dev/modem /dev/cuaa1 > --- > crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 May 8 16:31 /dev/cuaa1 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 May 8 13:17 /dev/modem -> /dev/cuaa0 > (NOTE: also tried hard link with no effect) Are you sure the symbolic link "modem" points to the correct device?

I have: #Modem on COM2 cuaa1 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -x5 -n3" pc3r on insecure I am using mgetty 0.99.9 not from the ports collection, but the portable version from ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/networking/communicaton/modem It works fine for me with a ZyXEL modem both for receiving and sending faxes and for dial-in. I had to edit the Makefile and policy.h manually before compiling. If you wish to use this version, I can mail you my configs. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm
