Quite probably because the original post read :
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
^^^^^^
[ Note the reference to *bsd --------------^ ]
mgetty/vgetty. Both we have Zyxel E+ modems. Mine has Eprom v6.0 -
maybe this is the reason?
Any hints are appreciated,
Ulrich
.... and the original poster was looking for assistance on an apparent
cross-platform problem he was having.
"(Re)search and ye shall find." :)
Thank you for your most courteous and helpful posting.
Regards,
Mark
