This means the dialin port had been signalled an incoming carrier by the modem. At this point, the dialin device (/dev/ttyd0) gets over control for getty. As long as there's no carrier present, the open() on /dev/ttyd0 from getty will block inside the kernel, and you can use /dev/cuaa0 for dialing out. If things don't work this way for you, i'd suspect a hardware problem. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
