Re: Does agetty work with a modem
The script autoans.sh get called without the space after -e. That's not a
problem.
I did look at the man info and all the file that came with agetty. There is
very little about getting it to work with a modem. They don't have
information about setting the modem to auto answer. The script I listed in
the inittab file (autoans.sh) was my script. I could not get it to set the
modem to auto answer.
