Subject: mgetty dialin fails - cry for help

Summary: cannot dialin Linux with mgetty
Keywords: mgetty linux dialin modem
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

Hi there,
I have (so far) successfully installed the mgetty/vgetty package
on my Linux (Slackware 1.2) machine. Answering Machine/ FAX works OK,
but I am not able to dial into my computer - I even get no connect.
Is this a *known* problem or do I need to do some extra hacks to
let it work?
The same problem exists at a friend's computer running NetBSD and
mgetty/vgetty. Both we have Zyxel E+ modems. Mine has Eprom v6.0 - 
maybe this is the reason?

Any hints are appreciated,
			    Ulrich
