hello. recently i tried to set my system upp so that i could dial into it. getty came as part of the system but i could not get it to work right. so i got mgetty instead (which was very easy to set up,,even for me!). but i was wondering,,getty is loaded everytime that i boot,,even though i dont use it.anyone know what file initializes getty??? i tried /etc/rc but it wasnt that one. id really appreciate any help,,im afraid that having both of them initialize at boot may screw up everything! the only problem that i had with mgetty is that it wont let me dial out. anyone know if you are supposed to be able to dial out when mgetty is installed??(or did i just mess up some where??) --john.
