With 2.2.1 on two boxs one running 30 instances of mgetty and the other running 64 at boot immediately after the date is displayed the login prompt and all the mgettys came right up. With 2.2.5 there is a several second delay before the login prompt and the start of the mgettys. Changing those ports from `off' to `on' in /etc/ttys and doing kill -HUP 1 shows the same behavior, 2.2.1 the modems show TR immediately with 2.2.5 it takes a few seconds. No biggie, we don't need to reboot too often. :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.
