Do you think editing /etc/gettytab and inserting something like D2400|d2400 :im=ATE0\r: would be appropriate? Or is this done elsewhere? I remember that in an earlier release of SCO (ODT 1.0) I had uugetty for this purpose. What is the correct (standard / nohack ) method to set up the modem to avoid this "getty war" problem? --Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------- kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de *** Error code 1 Stop.
